| REHOVOT, Israel, March 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Biomica Ltd., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative microbiome-based therapeutics and a subsidiary of Evogene Ltd. (NASDAQ: EVGN) (TASE: EVGN), today announced that its VP R&D, Dr. Shiri Meshner, will be presenting at the Pharmabiotics 2023 Conference, ‘The Future of Microbiome-based Medicines’, taking place in Lyon, France from March 21-22, 2023.  Dr. Meshner will be presenting on March 21, at 3:40pm CET, in a presentation entitled, ‘Biomica’s BMC128 - a Rationally Designed LBP Consortium’s Journey to the Clinic.’ Biomica’s proprietary BMC128 is a rationally designed consortia of 4 live bacterial strains which demonstrated a significant reduction of cancer tumor volumes and increased survival in pre-clinical animal studies compared to anti-PD1 therapy alone. BMC128 is currently being tested in a 12 patient Phase 1 open label study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05354102) to primarily evaluate its safety and tolerability in combination with anti-PD-1 (Opdivo) in patients with either non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma or renal cell carcinoma (RCC), in patients whose cancers did not respond to treatment with an anti-PD-1 drug. The objectives in this Phase 1 trial will also explore efficacy variables. Dr. Meshner will be available for one-on-one meetings with participants throughout the conference, and those interested should be in touch with her directly.
