Biodexa Pharmaceuticals (formerly Midatech) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology and rare and orphan indications. Lead candidate MTX110 is in Phase I clinical studies in aggressive rare/orphan brain cancer indications. 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 oncology and rare/orphan indications. 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) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a very rare pediatric cancer. Biodexa has added a new preclinical programme, MTD217, targeting leptomeningeal disease, a secondary CNS cancer with poor prognosis. It recently announced completion of a Phase I study of MTX110 in the treatment of children with newly diagnosed diffuse midline gliomas; full results are expected in Q124. To bolster its pipeline further, Biodexa announced the proposed acquisition of Varian Biopharmaceuticals in May 2023. H123 ended with a £5.23m cash balance, supported by a $6m private placement and $3.3m direct offering, providing a cash runway to Q124.
