- Expanded Global Patent Protection – ONX-1006 secured additional patent protection in Japan and Europe, further strengthening Onselex’s global intellectual property portfolio
- Advanced Clinical Development – Onselex progressed preparations to initiate human clinical evaluation of ONX-1006 in Argentina for Stage IV pancreatic cancer
- Established Clinical Development Goal – Onselex set a target of achieving a 70% one-year survival rate in Stage IV pancreatic cancer patients treated with ONX-1006
2023
- Oct. 06, 2023 ONX-1006 completed a comprehensive Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) toxicology program comprising more than 30 studies and approximately 4,000 pages of reports, demonstrating a highly favorable preclinical safety profile
- ONX-1006 established a high No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) across GLP studies in rats and beagle dogs, including the pivotal 13-week repeat-dose IV toxicity study with once-weekly administration for 13 consecutive weeks, followed by a 4-week recovery period and toxicokinetic evaluation
- The GLP NOAEL findings demonstrated a substantial preclinical safety margin and support repeated, continuous administration of ONX-1006 for clinical development
