Deals and Product Developments

A number of companies closed new cooperation agreements in 

2012 and achieved major milestones in product development 

and approval. We present some examples of these dynamic ac-

tivities:

MOLOGEN presented outstanding results in its clinical devel-

opment programmes from a first evaluation of the colon cancer 

study with the active pharmaceutical ingredient MGN1703. The 

evaluation performed in May 2012 demonstrated the effective-

ness of MGN1703 as a maintenance therapy for metastasised 

colon cancer impressively. MOLOGEN also plans to investigate 

the effect of MGN1703 in lung cancer therapy in the future. In 

October 2012, the company presented promising new data from 

its kidney cancer study with MGN1601.  They showed a clear sur-

vival advantage for patients who fully completed the prescribed 

therapy programme compared to patients who had to terminate 

the therapy early due to the severity of their cancer disease. 

Furthermore, MOLOGEN completed the preclinical phase of its 

MIDGE


®

-based Leishmaniasis vaccine MGN1331 in June 2012 

with good results.

Dr. Claudia Ulbrich

CEO t-cell Europe GmbH

Our T-cell-based therapies, unique throughout the world, can 

help prevent organ rejection following transplant procedures, 

thus significantly reducing the need for immunosuppressive 

drugs. With the new funds of EUR 5.5 million raised in our 

most recent financing round, we aim to commence clinical 

trials already in 2014, so that we can expeditiously move for-

ward with proof-of-concept at the patient level, then proceed 

with negotiations to license our proprietary technology to a 

pharmaceutical industry partner. T-cell therapy will not com-

pletely eliminate the need for immunosuppressive support. 

However, even if the amount of immunosuppressive drugs 

required can be reduced by one half, the costs of our thera-

py will be quickly recovered, generating net patient savings. 

Just for one specific application, T

reg

 therapy following kidney 



transplantation, we estimate a current market potential of 

more than one billion euros per year.

NOXXON Pharma AG, a biopharmaceutical company and pi-

oneering developer of the new active agent class spiegelmers, 

successfully advanced its product pipeline. Its latest candidate 

agent NOX-H94 is already the third spiegelmer to have reached 

the Phase II trial stage. This is one of four Phase IIa trials NOXXON 

began in 2012. The others are investigating NOX-E36 in diabetic 

nephropathy therapy, NOX-A12 in the therapy of chronic lym-

phatic leukaemia and NOX-A12 for treatment of multiple myelo-

ma. The trial for anaemia of this chronic disease is the fourth 

Phase II trial NOXXON launched in 2012.

The German-American molecular diagnostics corporation Epig-

enomics AG made important progress with the approval of Epi 

proColon


®

 in the USA and the development of its marketing strat-

egy for this blood-based test for early detection of colon cancer. 

The next major milestone will now be the marketing launch of 

the product on the world‘s most important market – the USA.
