MAIA Biotechnology's shares rose 19% to $2.46 after the company said it entered into a clinical supply agreement with BeiGene to evaluate THIO, MAIA's telomere-targeting anticancer agent.
The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said THIO will be used alongside BeiGene's tislelizumab in three cancer types: hepatocellular carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, and colorectal cancer.
The trials will test the combination's efficacy in single-arm Phase 2 studies.
MAIA will fund and sponsor the trials, retaining global rights to THIO while BeiGene supplies tislelizumab. The Chicago-based company is trying to get accelerated Food and Drug Administration approvals for these indications.
