About Kazia Therapeutics Limited
Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA) is an
oncology-focused drug development company, based in Sydney, Australia.
Our lead program is paxalisib, a brain-penetrant inhibitor of
the PI3K / Akt / mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat
glioblastoma, the most common and most aggressive form of primary
brain cancer in adults. Licensed from Genentech in late 2016,
paxalisib commenced recruitment to GBM AGILE, a pivotal study in
glioblastoma, in January 2021. Eight
additional studies are active in various forms of brain cancer.
Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for glioblastoma by
the US FDA in February 2018, and Fast
Track Designation for glioblastoma by the US FDA in August 2020. In addition, paxalisib was granted
Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Designation by the US
FDA for DIPG in August 2020.
Kazia is also developing EVT801, a small-molecule inhibitor of
VEGFR3, which was licensed from Evotec SE in April 2021. Preclinical data has shown EVT801 to
be active against a broad range of tumour types and has provided
compelling evidence of synergy with immuno-oncology agents. A phase
I study commenced recruitment in November
2021.
