Glenmark Announces a New Discovery and the Initiation of IND Enabling Studies of a Novel Monoclonal Antibody Targeting OX40
Date:2/4/2013

d non-lymphoid cells. Costimulatory signals from OX40 to an activated T cell promote division and survival, augmenting the clonal expansion of effector and memory populations. OX40 mediated costimulatory signaling plays a central role in the development of multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Inhibiting these interactions can be used to treat these conditions. Conversely, agents that activate OX40 are being developed to activate T-cells to target cancer cells. No OX40 antagonistic antibodies are currently in clinical stage of development.

Glenmark's Novel Biologics Entity pipeline

With the addition of GBR 830 to the pipeline, Glenmark will now have three monoclonal antibodies in the Novel Biologics Entity (NBE) pipeline. First, GBR 500, a monoclonal antibody represents a first-in-class opportunity indicated for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). GBR 500 has been licensed to Sanofi and is in Phase II trials in the US. The second monoclonal antibody, GBR 900 targets the TrkA receptor for pain. This project is developed under license from Lay Line Genomics S.p.A., an Italian based Company. Monoclonal antibodies specific for TrkA represent a first-in-class opportunity for the treatment of chronic pain, which has a high level of unmet need. GBR 900 is in the pre-clinical stage of development and will be developed further by Glenmark Biologics Research Centre in Switzerland.
