Priya Kumthekar and Alexander Stegh, conducted a single-arm, open-label phase 0 first-in-human clinical trial (NCT03020017) to determine safety, pharmacokinetics, intratumoral accumulation and gene-suppressive activity of systemically administered SNAs comprised of siRNA specific for the GBM oncogene Bcl2L12. Patients with recurrent GBM were treated with intravenous administration of siBcl2L12-SNAs (NU-0129).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe paper reports first-in-human evidence that siRNA-based SNAs can be administered intravenously, cross the blood-brain-barrier in glioblastoma patients, accumulate in GBM tumor cells, and engage with their target gene.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe congratulate Drs. Kumthekar and Stegh on these results,\u201d said Dr. David Giljohann, the CEO of Exicure. He added, \u201cWe are excited about the impact to patients and its implications in treating other diseases, as Exicure continues to build and grow our pipeline in neurological disorders.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nExicure anticipates filing an IND for its lead program in Friedreich\u2019s ataxia by the end of 2021.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Glioblastoma<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nGlioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive type of primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system. The global incidence of glioblastoma is less than 10 per 100,000 people. Standard treatment for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma can include surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy, but treatment options are limited. The last investigational medicine to improve survival for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2005. The five-year survival rate of patients with GBM is less than five percent.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Friedreich\u2019s Ataxia<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nFriedreich\u2019s ataxia (FA) is the most commonly inherited ataxia, a degenerative neuromuscular disease leading to progressive loss of coordination, causing severe childhood disability and early mortality, in most cases before age 40. It is a monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the FXN gene resulting in reduced levels of frataxin protein. FA affects about 13,500 people in the US, Europe, Canada and Australia combined. There are currently no approved therapies for Friedreich\u2019s ataxia patients.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Exicure, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nExicure, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics for neurology, immuno-oncology, inflammatory diseases and other genetic disorders based on our proprietary Spherical Nucleic Acid, or SNA technology. Exicure believes that its proprietary SNA architecture has distinct chemical and biological properties that may provide advantages over other nucleic acid therapeutics and may have therapeutic potential to target diseases not typically addressed with other nucleic acid therapeutics. Exicure is in preclinical development of XCUR-FXN a lipid-nanoparticle SNA\u2013based therapeutic candidate, for the intrathecal treatment of Friedreich\u2019s ataxia (FA). Exicure&#8217;s therapeutic candidate cavrotolimod (AST-008) is in a Phase 1b\/2 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors. Exicure is based in Chicago, IL and in Cambridge, MA.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information, visit Exicure\u2019s website at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.exicuretx.com&amp;esheet=52394729&amp;newsitemid=20210311005676&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.exicuretx.com&amp;index=2&amp;md5=d0e25f61c65e99a94606e51f3e49e730\">www.exicuretx.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Forward Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Government stabilization efforts have only partially mitigated the consequences. The extent and duration of the impact on the Company\u2019s business and operations is highly uncertain, and that impact includes effects on its clinical trial operations, timelines and supply chain. Factors that will influence the impact on the Company\u2019s business and operations include the duration and extent of the pandemic, the extent of imposed or recommended containment and mitigation measures, and the general economic consequences of the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic or its impact or effects could have a material adverse impact on the Company\u2019s business, operations and financial results for an extended period of time.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=bwnews&amp;sty=20210311005676r1&amp;sid=flmnd&amp;distro=nx&amp;lang=en\" style=\"width:0;height:0\" \/><span class=\"bwct31415\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"mmgallerylink\"><span id=\"mmgallerylink-phrase\">View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span><span id=\"mmgallerylink-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210311005676\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210311005676\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\nKaren Sharma<br \/>\n<br \/>MacDougall<br \/>\n<br \/>781-235-3060<br \/>\n<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:ksharma@macbiocom.com\">ksharma@macbiocom.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>KEYWORDS:<\/b> United States North America Illinois Massachusetts<\/p>\n<p><b>INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> Biotechnology FDA Health Pharmaceutical Oncology Mental Health Other Science Research Genetics Science Clinical Trials<\/p>\n<p><b>MEDIA:<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><b>Logo<\/b><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20210311005676\/en\/651600\/3\/Exicure_Logo_FINAL_Full_Color-072515.jpg\" alt=\"Logo\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spherical Nucleic Acid Technology Shows Promising Results in Phase 0 Trial in Patients With Glioblastoma at Northwestern University CHICAGO &amp; CAMBRIDGE, Mass.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211; Exicure, Inc.
