India-based Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has entered a licensing agreement with US company APC Therapeutics for exclusive rights to a small molecule, oncology compound based on antigen presenting cell (APC) biology.

APC Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a portfolio of immuno-oncology (IO) therapies.

The small-molecule oncology compound can be used both as a monotherapy and in combination with approved therapies to meet unmet requirements in cancer treatment.

“Glenmark is an ideal partner to advance such an important scientific breakthrough treatment to patients with cancer."

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals president and chief scientific officer Kurt Stoeckli said: “This asset adds to our robust biologics pipeline of targeted IO therapies.

“The mechanism of action of APC biology is very intriguing and has the potential to be transformative in cancer treatment by triggering powerful immunologic responses to tumours that may lead to deeper and more durable responses to treatment.”
