Thank you ZERO Prostate Cancer and #TeamJanux for a great ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk in San Diego! It was the perfect way to conclude Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and we were proud to support the event as a gold sponsor. At Janux Therapeutics, we're committed to advancing the fight against prostate cancer through innovative new immunotherapies. We are focused on creating safer, more effective treatments to improve patient outcomes and bring new hope to those battling this disease. Together, we're making strides in the community and in the clinic toward a future with #ZEROProstateCancer. #GoJanux #PCAM #pcsm #prostatecancer #mCRPC #ProstateCancerAwareness
About us
Janux Therapeutics is an innovative biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation therapeutics based on its proprietary Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr) platform technology to better treat patients suffering from cancer. Janux’s initial focus is on developing a novel class of T cell engagers (TCEs), and its lead product candidates are designed to target clinically validated drug targets. While TCE therapeutics have displayed potent anti-tumor activity in hematological cancers, developing TCEs to treat solid tumors have faced challenges due to the limitations of prior TCE technologies, namely (i) overactivation of the immune system leading to cytokine release syndrome, (ii) on-target, healthy tissue toxicities, and (iii) poor pharmacokinetics leading to short half-life. Janux is using its TRACTr platform technology to engineer product candidates designed to overcome these limitations. Janux is developing a broad pipeline with lead programs targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2), with all of its programs currently in the IND-enabling or discovery stage.

Whether tackling a major project or pursuing a personal goal, commitment is the driving force that keeps Ying Zhang motivated and pushes her to overcome challenges when things get tough or lose their initial excitement. It's a value we share here at Janux. The talented proteomics expert recently reflected on how a shared commitment to improving patient lives drives the work of her and her team. Thanks for sharing your insights, Ying! #Culture #LeadByExample #CoreValues #LifeatJanux #commitment

Each day, we work to develop meaningful new immunotherapies to improve the treatment of prostate cancer. We also know that early detection is important to better outcomes. Establishing a prostate cancer screening schedule depends on individual risk factors and family history. During Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage families to discuss their family medical history, and suggest that all the men read up on when to get tested as part of a precision screening process. During #PCAM, we are also proud to participate in the San Diego Run/Walk on September 28th for the ZERO Prostate Cancer patient support network. 💡 Find out when to get checked with this great Prostate Cancer Foundation resource: https://lnkd.in/e4ETdpJq 👟 Sign up for the walk: https://lnkd.in/gcaUhzsX 📚 Learn more about the work we are doing to develop new immunotherapies for #prostatecancer: https://lnkd.in/g7ewWXwB #mCRPC #ZEROout #ProstateCancerAwareness

Today we reported our second quarter (Q2) financial results and business highlights. Enrollment is ongoing for PSMA-TRACTr (JANX007) in prostate cancer and for EGFR-TRACTr (JANX008) in solid tumors. An update on JANX007 data and doses selected for expansion cohorts is anticipated in 2H 2024. Also, Janux received a $7.5 million payment from Merck triggered by the achievement of an undisclosed development milestone for the first collaboration target under the companies’ 2020 Research Collaboration and Exclusive License Agreement.
