Onco-Innovations (CBOE CA: ONCO) (OTCQB: ONNVF) (Frankfurt: W1H) (WKN: A3EKSZ) entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Ifowonco Informatics Incorporated as an initial step toward negotiating a definitive agreement that, if completed, would grant Onco an exclusive option relating to Ifowonco's proprietary small-molecule inhibitor program targeting lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (“LAG-3”). The proposed collaboration is intended to combine Ifowonco's oral small-molecule immune checkpoint technology with Onco-Innovations' expertise in DNA damage response (“DDR”) therapeutics, translational oncology and clinical development, with the companies believing the combination of DDR inhibition and LAG-3 blockade could potentially enhance anti-tumour immune responses across multiple solid tumour indications.

Ifowonco's program is focused on developing orally available small-molecule LAG-3 inhibitors, in contrast with currently approved LAG-3 therapies administered intravenously as monoclonal antibodies. The companies intend to evaluate the LAG-3 program independently and, where supported by preclinical findings, explore its potential use alongside DDR-based therapeutic approaches, including Onco-Innovations' ONC010 program. CEO Thomas O'Shaughnessy said the potential agreement could position the company“at the intersection of precision oncology and next-generation cancer immunotherapy.”
