NOTTINGHAM (UK), February 18, 2022: Oxilio signed an exclusive global licensing agreement with TRx Biosciences on 20th October 2021 for the use of their platform technology to support the development of Oxilio’s formulation, OXL001. Oxilio has since progressed the product and nowsigned a significant service contract with Quotient Sciences, a drug development and manufacturing accelerator, to support the formulation development and preparation of clinical trials for OXL001.
Mark Egerton, CEO of Quotient Sciences said, “By leveraging our integrated development and clinical testing platform, Translational Pharmaceutics®, Oxilio and TRx Biosciences will have the flexibility to adjust formulations based on emerging clinical data within their study, enabling us to improve their likelihood of success, reduce their development time and ultimately get new medicines to patients faster. We look forward to working with both companies as we prepare to take OXL001 into the clinic later this year.”
Commenting, Oxilio Director Dr Simon Yaxley said: “Quotient has significant capabilities for scientific innovation and adaptation which will further complement Oxilio’s already substantial scientific capacity. We look forward to taking Oxilio’s highly promising formulation OXL001 into the clinic later this year which, if successful, offers tremendous near-term potential benefit for cancer patients.”
