Ep. 86 – Macrophages, ASCO & Clever-1: Faron CEO Juho Jalkanen on Bexmarilimab’s Promise
Description
The macrophage field has seen its share of setbacks, but Faron believes bexmarilimab, its humanized mAb that binds to immune checkpoint target Clever-1, has what it takes to get across the goal line at FDA.
On a special sponsored edition of The BioCentury Show, Juho Jalkanen, founder and CEO of Faron Pharmaceuticals, explains how the Finnish biotech landed on Clever-1, and why the target might more effectively repolarize macrophages than therapies against other macrophage checkpoints.
Jalkanen also discusses the Phase I/II data Faron presented for bexmarilimab in myelodysplastic syndrome at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago, and what’s next for the immunotherapy. This episode of The BioCentury Show was sponsored by Faron.
