BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Sept. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hillstream BioPharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: HILS) ("Hillstream" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company developing therapeutic candidates targeting drug resistant and devastating cancer announces an exclusive option agreement to acquire a clinical stage asset, AV104, with a recently approved IND. AV104 has a dual mechanism of action by affecting multiple receptors, known to suppress chronic, debilitating pruritis or “uncontrollable itching”. The Company intends to first seek approval in an orphan disease for the treatment of moderate to severe cholestatic pruritis in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a rare form of liver disease with no known cure in which more than 70% of patients suffer from chronic pruritis.

Key Points: 
  • AV104 has a dual mechanism of action by affecting multiple receptors, known to suppress chronic, debilitating pruritis or “uncontrollable itching”.
  • When the itch circuitry is imbalanced in diseased conditions, pharmacological intervention can help suppress this phenomenon which occurs in patients suffering from chronic pruritis.
  • Chronic pruritis is significant in liver diseases as well as chronic kidney diseases, hemodialysis and atopic dermatitis.
  • “This exclusive option allows the company to bring a clinical-stage asset into the organization as we shift into a patient-focused biotechnology organization.

Hillstream Advances Next-Gen Multispecific Antibodies for Solid Tumors with Lead HER2/HER3 Program, HSB-3215

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, July 20, 2023

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., July 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hillstream BioPharma, Inc. (“Hillstream”, the “Company”) today announced the expansion of its collaboration with Minotaur Therapeutics, Inc. (“Minotaur”) and its license agreement with OmniAb, Inc. (“OmniAb”) to advance the development of next generation targeted Knob biologics (PicobodiesTM) against HER3 and a new undisclosed oncology target. Hillstream will collaborate with Minotaur using OmniAb’s “OmniTaur™” technology to discover targeted biotherapeutic Picobodies complementing Hillstream’s most advanced program, HSB-3215, a HER2/HER3 bispecific antibody (BsAb).

Key Points: 
  • As a diverse group of molecules, BsAbs recognize distinct epitopes on two different antigens, in the case of HSB-3215, HER2 and HER3.
  • These validated targets, belong to the ERBB receptor tyrosine kinase family and are exploited by cancer cells to promote oncogenesis.
  • This conceivable “multi-specific” capacity of PicobodiesTM could more efficiently target multiple cell surface portions compared to known or existing biologics.
  • Hillstream is now poised to develop a novel technology for creating multiple proteins to enhance targeted cancer immunotherapy.”
