BioLineRx Ltd., an Israeli biopharmaceutical firm established in 2003 and based in Hevel Modi'in, focuses its clinical-stage development efforts primarily on oncology. Their leading investigational product, Motixafortide, a peptide, has successfully concluded pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials for mobilizing stem cells in autologous transplants, and Phase 2a trials targeting pancreatic cancer. This compound is currently progressing through Phase 2 studies for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and Phase 1b trials for acute respiratory distress syndrome linked to COVID-19 and other viral infections. Additionally, Motixafortide is being investigated for its therapeutic potential in solid tumors and acute myeloid leukemia. The company's pipeline also includes AGI-134, an immuno-oncology agent presently undergoing Phase 1/2a clinical evaluations for various solid tumors. Furthermore, BioLineRx is advancing BL-5010, a custom-designed, proprietary pen-like device intended for the non-surgical removal of skin lesions. BioLineRx maintains strategic alliances, notably a collaboration with MSD in the domain of cancer immunotherapy, and an agreement with MD Anderson Cancer Center to explore Motixafortide combined with KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) for pancreatic cancer. They also have a licensing deal with Perrigo Company plc for the over-the-counter sale of BL-5010.
BioLineRx and Hemispherian AS to Present Encouraging GLIX1 Preclinical Efficacy Data and its Phase 1/2a Trial Design at the 21st Meeting of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO 2026)
BioLineRx and its German-partner collaborator Hemispherian AS will present two accepted GLIX1 abstracts at EANO 2026 in Rome (September 24-27), including a mini-oral highlighting preclinical efficacy in orthotopic glioblastoma models.
The preclinical package shows dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition and survival benefit across two orthotopic GBM xenograft models plus a temozolomide-resistant patient-derived xenograft, with brain exposures at 68-85% of plasma levels supporting CNS penetration.
The first-in-human Phase 1/2a trial of GLIX1 in recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma is actively enrolling, using a BOIN design across up to 5 dose levels in up to 30 patients at four leading US academic institutions.
GLIX1 is BioLineRx's lead development asset under its collaboration with Hemispherian; the announcement is conference visibility and momentum framing rather than new clinical results.
