Xiconic Pharmaceuticals LLC
Xiconic Pharmaceuticals LLC Pharmaceuticals: MajorHealth Technology Founded in 2016, Xiconic Pharmaceuticals LLC is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing cancer treatments. The company is based in Blue Bell, PA. The company advances a novel tumor antigen discovery—activated matriptase (actm)—which is predominantly expressed on tumor cells across multiple epithelial cancers and certain lymphomas. Xiconic's lead product, XCN-010 (matriptimab™-mmae), is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate that selectively targets actm using the M69 monoclonal antibody. XCN-010 employs proprietary pegylation technology to enhance linker stability, reduce off-target toxicity, and enable efficient intracellular release of the potent microtubule inhibitor monomethyl auristatin e (mmae), with a drug-antibody ratio accepted by the FDA. Preclinical studies demonstrate XCN-010’s potency and selectivity against actm-positive tumor cells in vitro and efficacy in multiple in vivo tumor models, including breast, non-small cell lung, prostate cancers, and mantle cell lymphoma. Combination therapy with olaparib further enhances antitumor effects without added toxicity. The company has licensed key intellectual property from Rutgers and Georgetown universities and is progressing toward clinical development. | Directeur/Membre du Conseil | - |
