Study Update summary
8 Jul, 2026Joint 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.
