Expanding into immuno-oncology

RXi recently announced that it has entered into an exclusive option agreement to acquire MirImmune, an early-stage private company focusing on immune checkpoint modulation, in exchange for a share amount equal to 19.99% of RXi’s outstanding stock plus milestones. MirImmune had previously licensed RXi’s sd-rxRNA technology in March 2015 and has since selected six lead compounds, which will be used alone or in combination to develop cell therapy to treat cancer. The first cell therapy will likely reach the clinic in 2018. RXi also announced a planned capital raise. If unable to raise capital, its cash runway extends only into Q217.
