Novel Therapies For AML And Other Cancers

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

ATLANTA and TAIPEI, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Oncology and Orient Euro Pharma (OEP) announce a
strategic partnership in which OEP has invested $5M in Cambium Oncology. This will accelerate the clinical development of Cambium Oncology's lead therapeutic candidate, ANT308, a FIRST-IN-CLASS
vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptor antagonist
designed to restore
anti-cancer T-cell function. This investment is in addition to $2.4M recently received from the
NIH.

• PROOF-OF-CONCEPT: ANT308 has shown strong single-agent anti-leukemia activity in two AML mouse models and synergistic effects with anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors in three pancreatic cancer (PDAC) models.
• Broad Therapeutic Potential: This platform technology has applications across hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, with the potential to enhance response rates in checkpoint inhibitor-resistant cancers.

ANT308 is a proprietary small-molecule antagonist that blocks VIP-receptor signaling on human T cells, overcoming immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment. Unlike traditional therapies, ANT308 is mutation-agnostic and has demonstrated no dose-limiting toxicities in preclinical studies.

With over 40 years of pharmaceutical industry experience,
OEPI brings
regulatory expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and commercial reach
to help Cambium Oncology scale development and accelerate clinical translation. This partnership represents a
key milestone
in advancing novel
immuno-oncology therapeutics to market.
