1Q23 Loss Reported With Progress Review. Maia Biotechnology announced a 1Q23 loss of $4.1 million or $(0.38) per share. Progress during the quarter included announcement of preliminary safety data from its lead trial in non-small cell lung cancer, THIO-101, and patient enrollment in Part B. Preclinical data was presented on THIO in liver cancer, an indication planned for the THIO-102 trial later in 2H23. Cash on March 31 was $7.6 million, excluding $5.75 million raised in a public offering completed in late April.
THIO-101 Part A Safety Results Were Presented. THIO-101 is the first trial testing THIO in combination with Libtayo, an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor from Regeneron. The data was from the Part A safety lead-in stage that tested a dose of 360 mg in 6 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. There were no dose-limiting toxicities or safety issues reported. As of April 2023, the first two patients enrolled in Part A were still alive and reached survival endpoints of 10 and 9 months. Both patients have advanced Stage IV metastatic disease and had failed third and fourth line of therapy, with life expectancy of about 6 months.
