SHANGHAI, CHINA, WuXi STA – a subsidiary of WuXi AppTec– and Xynomic Pharmaceuticals (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. (“Xynomic”) announced the signing of a strategic partnership agreement.

According to the agreement, WuXi STA becomes the preferred CDMO partner providing Xynomic integrated CMC services to accelerate its present and future drug candidates (small molecule, peptide, oligonucleotide and complex chemical conjugate, etc.), from API to drug product, including but not limited to the process development, manufacturing, analytical and regulatory filing support.

Xynomic Pharmaceuticals (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. is a global biopharmaceutical company that is committed to developing and commercializing innovative medicines for oncology. Their pipeline is built on both internal R&D and license-in programs, including three clinical-stage and two preclinical-stage small-molecule drug candidates. Xynomic owns global exclusive right for development and manufacturing of their entire pipeline. The lead drug candidate abexinostat has successfully completed the dosing of the first-phase patients in its on-going China phase 2 clinical trial, as a third-line therapy against relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. The preliminary data shows excellent result and now the team is preparing NDA filing documents to China NMPA. The collaboration with WuXi STA will speed up the global commercialization of Xynomic.

Currently, WuXi STA is the CDMO partner of Xynomic for the API and tablet R&D, manufacturing and packaging of abexinostat. With the agreement signed, WuXi STA will further support the New Drug Application (NDA) filing in both the US and China and global commercial manufacturing for this product.
