Recent Past Development

On March 15, 2021, NTEC announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to merge with Decoy Biosystems, Inc., a privately owned preclinical-stage biotechnology firm developing new, multi-targeted drugs that safely prime both endogenous and adaptive anti-tumor and anti-viral immune responses. The merged business will improve its immunotherapy program to fight a wide range of tumor forms and chronic viral infections. Decoy recently met with the FDA for a pre-IND meeting and now expects to file an IND in the second half of 2021 and begin a Phase I clinical trial in 2022, focusing on solid tumors and lymphomas.

Furthermore,

Dr. Roger Pomerantz who is anticipated to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the combined company said that Decoy’s bacteria-based technology is an innovative treatment option that has the ability to revolutionize cancer and chronic infectious disease treatment.

Jeffrey A. Meckler, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intec Pharma commented that this game-changing deal gives Intec a strong clinical pipeline based on a novel immunotherapy platform, as well as a foothold in the exciting field of immuno-oncology. NTEC’s move into immuno-oncology takes advantage of Intec’s senior leadership and presents an interesting, potentially value-creating prospect for our shareholders.
