BOSTON, Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pyxis Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYXS), a clinical stage company focused on developing next generation therapeutics to target difficult-to-treat cancers, today announced that it will host an in-person and virtual investor event to discuss preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating PYX-201 in multiple types of solid tumors. The event will be held on November 20, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET at Venue 42 by Convene, located at 5 Times Square in New York City. Virtual attendance is also available.

Pyxis Oncology's executive management team will be joined by the following physician thought leaders to discuss preliminary data from the Phase 1 trial:

  • Anthony Tolcher, MD, FRCPC, FACP, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, NEXT Oncology
  • Glenn Hanna, MD, Director, Center for Cancer Therapeutic Innovation (Early Drug Development Program) and Center for Salivary and Rare Head and Neck Cancers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School

PYX-201, the Company's lead clinical drug candidate, is a first-in-concept antibody-drug conjugate with a microtubule inhibitor payload that uniquely targets Extradomain-B Fibronectin (EDB+FN), a non-cellular structural component within the tumor extra-cellular matrix. PYX-201 is being evaluated in an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1 dose escalation trial in patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. The data presentation will include insights into approximately 80 patients, including available safety, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and the plan for the next development phase.

Anyone interested in attending the live event in person or via the webcast should RSVP to pyxis.oncology.data.event.

A live webcast and replay of the event will be available on the Events & Presentations page in the Investor Relations section of Pyxis Oncology's website, ir.pyxisoncology.com.

About Pyxis Oncology, Inc.

Pyxis Oncology, Inc. is a clinical stage company focused on defeating difficult-to-treat cancers. The company is efficiently building next generation therapeutics that hold the potential for mono and combination therapies. PYX-201, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that uniquely targets EDB+FN, a non-cellular structural component of the tumor extra-cellular matrix, and PYX-106, a fully human Siglec-15-targeting antibody designed to block suppression of T-cell proliferation and function, are being evaluated in ongoing Phase 1 clinical studies in multiple types of solid tumors. Pyxis Oncology's therapeutic candidates are designed to directly kill tumor cells and to address the underlying pathologies created by cancer that enable its uncontrollable proliferation and immune evasion. Pyxis Oncology's ADC and immuno-oncology (IO) programs employ novel and emerging strategies to target a broad range of solid tumors resistant to current standards of care.
