Ten years after the groundbreaking FDA approval of checkpoint inhibitors, immuno-oncology (IO) is on the cusp of a new era. In BioSpace, Mural CEO Caroline J Loew, PhD reflects on the challenges, advances, and promise of ‘IO 2.0’—a wave driven by nimble biotech companies like ours, bringing innovative therapies beyond PD-1 inhibitors aiming to transform cancer care. Read on to see why we’re excited about this next chapter in IO: https://lnkd.in/gXan3Nmb

Leveraging our protein engineering platform to improve cytokine-based immunotherapies for the treatment of #cancer
About us
We know that drug development is both an art and a science. The work we do is incredibly technical, intentional, and specific, but there is an art to it - because we must leave room for creativity, innovation and spontaneity. Murals are paintings that transform overlooked or unused spaces - creating something impactful and meaningful. There remains many overlooked opportunities in cancer drug development. This is what inspires us. Our mission is simple, to create novel immunotherapies that can change patients’ lives so they can get back to what matters most - living. Mural Oncology is leveraging its industry-leading protein engineering platform to revolutionize cytokine-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. Immunotherapies have been transformative for some people living with cancer, but unfortunately many patients still do not benefit - either because they are ineligible for treatment or they do not respond well to current therapies. We leverage our expertise in cytokine biology, immune cell modulation and our protein engineering capabilities to develop first and novel immunotherapies. Our goal is to deliver meaningful, clinical benefit across a wide range of cancers, including tumor types where immunotherapies have previously not been effective. Mural Oncology is developing a portfolio of programs to broaden the potential and reach of cytokine-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancers. (NASDAQ: MURA)

We had the pleasure of joining fellow researchers and clinicians over the weekend at the Society for Melanoma Research annual congress to discuss the latest advances in melanoma research. We shared a systematic literature review of outcomes and treatments in advanced mucosal melanoma, which is a disease with high unmet need, a scarcity of data, and currently no approved therapies. We believe our ARTISTRY-6 trial will provide the most robust clinical dataset in advanced mucosal melanoma to date, and we look forward to sharing a top-line readout in Q2 2025 and advancing nemvaleukin for this serious disease.

We're looking forward to attending the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) annual meeting to present 3 posters. Data presented will include tumor microenvironment pharmacodynamic biopsy data from the phase 1/2 ARTISTRY-3 study, which is an evaluation of less frequent dosing of Mural's lead candidate, nemvaleukin. Preclinical data will also be shared on Mural's IL-18 and IL-12 programs. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3zWfzUk #SITC24 #biotechnology #innovation #immunooncology #cancerreasearch
