Machavert will present the key highlights of its two oncology assets currently under preclinical development; MP1115 and MP2019. Machavert's most developed asset, MP1115, is a bioactive immuno-oncology agent that also demonstrates a direct anti-cancer effect against solid tumors with KRAS mutation and liquid tumors, including indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and multiple myeloma models. The MP1115 nanoparticles were successfully shown to deliver a payload test compound to NHL cells and offer increased anti-tumor proliferative activity. MP2019 is a small molecule RAL GTPase inhibitor against solid and liquid tumors with KRAS mutation that is primarily being developed for non-small lung carcinoma treatment. MP2019 is also being combined with MP1115 for enhanced anti-cancer action.
