Pyxis Oncology, Inc. Common Stock

Pyxis Oncology, Inc. engages in the business of developing a multi-modality portfolio of next-generation therapeutics to target difficult-to-treat cancers and improve quality of life for patients. The company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and currently employs 56 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2021-10-08. The firm is building therapeutics that hold the potential for mono and combination therapies. Its clinical program portfolio includes micvotobart pelidotin (MICVO), PYX-106, Sotigalimab (PYX-107), PYX-203, PYX-102, and APX601. The Company’s lead product candidate, MICVO, is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets Extradomain-B Fibronectin (EDB+FN), a non-cellular structural component of the tumor extra-cellular matrix (ECM). MICVO is designed to generate a multi-pronged attack on difficult-to-treat cancers by directly killing cancer cells, reducing ECM density, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and mobilizing an anti-tumor immune response. The Company’s ADC, MICVO, consists of human Immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and is site-specifically conjugated with a cleavable linker and a microtubule inhibitor (optimized auristatin) payload.
