Study Update summary

8 Jul, 2026

Joint Venture Formation and Strategic Focus

  • Entered a joint venture with Hemispherian AS to develop GLIX1, a first-in-class oral small molecule targeting DNA damage response in glioblastoma and other cancers.

  • Hemispherian contributes global rights to GLIX1; BioLineRx manages and funds development, with ownership increasing as investment grows.

  • No upfront payment; all funding directed to development activities, and the JV has first look at other Hemispherian pipeline molecules.

  • Hemispherian initially holds 60% of the JV, with BioLineRx's stake potentially increasing to 70% with further investment.

  • The JV structure allows gradual investment, risk sharing, and maximizes synergies between the partners.

GLIX1 Mechanism, Preclinical Data, and Intellectual Property

  • GLIX1 targets TET2, restoring DNA demethylation and inducing double-stranded DNA breaks selectively in cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.

  • Demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity, excellent blood-brain barrier penetration, and efficacy in temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma cell lines.

  • Preclinical studies showed complete tumor growth prevention, improved survival in mouse models, and strong efficacy in multiple cancer cell lines.

  • GLP toxicology studies in rats and dogs showed safety at high doses; Orphan Drug Designation granted by FDA and EMA.

  • GLIX1 is covered by patents in the US, Europe, and other countries, valid until at least 2040, with possible extensions.

Clinical Development Plan and Trial Design

  • IND cleared by FDA; phase I/IIA trial planned to start in Q1 2026, led by top investigators at Northwestern University.

  • Phase I will enroll up to 30 recurrent GBM patients to determine maximum tolerated or recommended dose based on safety, PK, PD, and preliminary efficacy.

  • Phase IIA will include cohorts for GLIX1 monotherapy in recurrent GBM, GLIX1 plus standard of care in newly diagnosed GBM, and GLIX1 with PARP inhibitors in other solid tumors.

  • Open-label design allows ongoing data review and timely updates; data from phase I expected in the first half of 2027.

  • Manufacturing is established with sufficient drug product for trial initiation and robust stability profile.
