芝加哥和威斯康星州伯洛伊特, June 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Monopar Therapeutics Inc.（纳斯达克：MMPR）（伊利诺伊州芝加哥）和NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC（威斯康星州伯洛伊特）今天宣布了一项50/50合作计划，共同开发潜在的放射性同位素免疫疗法（RIT），以治疗重症新冠肺炎（感染SARS-CoV-2新冠病毒的患者）。Monodar是一家临床阶段生物制药公司，而NorthStar是一家医用放射性同位素的商业化生产商和供应商。这项合作将结合NorthStar在重要医用放射性同位素创新生产、供应和分销等方面的行业专长，和Monopar在治疗性药物开发及其IND前期人源化尿激酶纤溶酶原激活物受体（uPAR）靶向单克隆抗体方面的专知，以及针对uPAR或其配位体uPA的相关单克隆体专有产品组合。经证明，uPA系统（由丝氨酸蛋白酶uPA及其受体uPAR组成）在异常激活的免疫细胞上存在选择性表达。作为对冠状病毒感染的反应，这些失控免疫细胞会产生促炎性细胞因子，可导致全身炎症失控；这通常称为细胞因子风暴。这种全身高度炎症状态被认为是导致严重肺部损伤和其他多器官损伤的主要原因，而这造成了新冠肺炎重症患者预后不良和死亡。在这项合作中，Monopar和NorthStar计划将MNPR-101与NorthStar提供的一种治疗放射性同位素结合，以制造一种高选择性药剂，能够杀死异常激活且产生细胞因子的免疫细胞。利用针对性的RIT来消除这些细胞，其目标是保护健康细胞，同时快速降低细胞因子风暴及其对全身系统的有害影响。“这项合作是独特科学和技术专长的强力联合，将帮助对抗重症新冠肺炎，”Monopar Therapeutics首席执行官Chandler Robinson博士表示。“我们两家公司将开展一项研发项目，以确定Monopar公司的uPA/uPAR单克隆抗体能否转化为RIT，以有效治疗重症新冠肺炎和对抗其他冠状病毒。”“我们很高兴与Monopar携手共同抗击新冠肺炎，”NorthStar...
