Contract award

Physiomics plc (AIM: PYC), the consultancy using mathematical models to support the development of drug treatment regimens and personalised medicine solutions, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a further contract by existing client Ankyra Therapeutics (“Ankyra”). Building on the work that was announced in March this year, this contract extension is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Ankyra is a Boston-based biotech company focused on improving both the safety and efficacy of cancer treatment by using their proprietary anchored immunotherapy platform. Ankyra announced a successful US$45 million Series B funding round a year ago to finance its lead molecule ANK-101 through Phase 1 clinical trials and has an emerging pipeline of additional immunotherapy-based programs. Physiomics is supporting Ankyra with the modelling and simulation of ANK-101 in immune-oncology settings in support of its early development and clinical translation.

 

Physiomics CEO, Dr Jim Millen, commented: “We are delighted to continue supporting Ankyra Therapeutics for the development of this exciting new molecule ANK-101 through the use of modelling and simulation.”
