Biodexa Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology and rare/orphan indications. MTX110 is in Phase I clinical studies in aggressive rare/orphan brain cancer indications and tolimidone is due to start Phase I trials in type I diabetes in Q124. The preclinical pipeline includes MTD217, targeting leptomeningeal disease.

The brain cancer space comes with a high risk-reward trade off, although successful therapeutics stand to benefit materially given the unmet need. The glioblastoma therapeutics market is a $3–5bn opportunity with only a handful of drugs approved, highlighting the potential for novel therapeutics.

Financials

Following a strategic pivot in early-2023, Biodexa is now positioned as a therapeutics company with a focus on disease areas with unmet need. The current pipeline focus is on the legacy Phase I asset, MTX110, currently undergoing clinical studies in aggressive brain cancers such as glioblastoma (Phase Ib trial ongoing; progression free survival data expected in Q224) with plans for an Investigational New Drug application in diffuse midline gliomas in Q324. The preclinical program includes MTD217, targeting leptomeningeal disease, a secondary central nervous system cancer with poor prognosis. To bolster its pipeline further, Biodexa completed the acquisition of a novel lyn kinase activator, tolimidone in December 2023 with plans to develop it for type I diabetes. H123 ended with a £5.23m cash balance, bolstered further by a $6m equity raise in December 2023.
