Oryzon sube un 40% tras anunciar resultados clínicos en un fármaco contra la leucemia

Las acciones de Oryzon Genomics han cerrado la sesión de este miércoles con una subida del 40,45%, hasta 4,1 euros, después de que la empresa anunciase la presentación de resultados clínicos acerca de un fármaco para combatir la leucemia mieloide aguda.

Miércoles, 16 de Noviembre de 2016 - 17:48 h.
La empresa, especilizada en la fase clínica de epigenética para el desarrollo de terapias contra enfermedades no resueltas, ha anunciado esta mañana a la Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) que presentará datos clínicos preliminares sobre seguridad y eficacia de su fármaco en investigación ORY-1001.

Este fármaco juega un papel significativo en el desarrollo del cáncer, al correlacionar con la base genética de las células tumorales y al poder tener capacidad para inhibirlas de forma selectiva.

En concreto, Oryzon ha anunciado que presentará resultados sobre un inhibidor selectivo de LSD1 en el 58 Congreso y Exposición Anual de la Sociedad Americana de Hematología (American Society of Hematology, ASH), que tendrá lugar del 3 al 6 de diciembre en San Diego (California).

ORY-1001 se administra por vía oral a los pacientes y ataca a las células madre de leucemia mieloide aguda (LMA), una subpoblación de células cancerígenas probablemente responsables de las frecuentes recaídas de esta enfermedad

Oryzon recibe 0,74 millones para el desarrollo de inhibidores epigenéticos

22/12/2016 - Agencia EFE

Oryzon, compañía catalana especializada en el desarrollo de fármacos experimentales, ha recibido ayudas públicas por valor de 740.000 euros, que destinará al desarrollo de su cartera de inhibidores epigenéticos frente a indicaciones inflamatorias.

En un comunicado, la empresa ha especificado que la concesión de esta ayuda se materializará en forma de préstamo a interés reducido por parte del Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, una participación que se completará con Fondos FEDER procedentes de la Unión Europea.

Asimismo, ha indicado que esta ayuda cubrirá parcialmente los costes del proyecto titulado "Regulación epigenética de la respuesta inflamatoria", que cuenta con la colaboración de diversas instituciones académicas como el Instituto Cajal de Madrid y el Instituto López Neyra de Granada, ambos pertenecientes al CSIC; la Fundación Bosch i Gimpera, asociada a la Universidad de Barcelona; y la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona.

El proyecto, que dispone de un presupuesto total de 1,2 millones de euros, se establece con una duración de 33 meses, ya que se inició el pasado mes de abril y se espera que finalice en el mes de diciembre del año 2018.

Las instituciones públicas participantes en el proyecto recibirán en total una ayuda de 380.000 euros en forma de subvención no reembolsable, que destinarán al desarrollo de actividades de investigación dirigidas a evaluar el potencial de los inhibidores de Oryzon en distintas patologías inflamatorias.

El presidente y consejero delegado de Oryzon, Carlos Buesa, ha mencionado que "este consorcio público-privado permitirá la puesta a punto de modelos y herramientas de utilidad para la evaluación del potencial terapéutico de los inhibidores de LSD1 y otros moduladores epigenéticos en enfermedades inflamatorias y autoinmunes".

Además, ha apuntado que este es un campo que la firma ya está explorando con ORY-2001, el primer compuesto epigenético en exploración para el tratamiento de la Esclerosis Múltiple, y ha añadido que está previsto que este compuesto finalice la Fase I en los próximos meses.

Fundada en Barcelona el año 2000, Oryzon es una compañía biofarmacéutica con oficinas en Barcelona, Cambridge y Massachusetts.
