INB 200(IN8bio)

Preliminary clinical data for glioblastoma multiforme patients enrolled in a Phase 1 clinical trial demonstrated that 92 percent of evaluable patients treated with INB-200 exceeded a median progression-free survival of seven months with concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy. The median follow-up was 11.7 months. This survival data along with radiographic improvements are indicative of positive treatment effects, which highlights the potential of IN8bio's genetically modified, chemotherapy-resistant gamma-delta T cells as a potential first-in-class therapy for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Preliminary clinical data for glioblastoma multiforme patients enrolled in a Phase 1 clinical trial at the University of Alabama at Birmingham demonstrated that 92 percent of evaluable patients treated with INB-200 exceeded a median progression-free survival of seven months with concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy. The median follow-up was 11.7 months. This survival data along with radiographic improvements are indicative of positive treatment effects, which highlights the potential of IN8bio's genetically modified, chemotherapy-resistant gamma-delta T cells as a potential first-in-class therapy for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Glioblastoma multiforme is the most aggressive type of cancer originating in the brain. The clinical trial was led by Burt Nabors, M.D., in collaboration with IN8bio. Nabors is a professor of neurology at UAB, division director of Neuro-Oncology and a senior scientist in the O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB. Gamma-delta T cells are a specialized population of T cells that possess unique properties, including the ability to differentiate between healthy and diseased tissue. IN8bio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of gamma-delta T cell product candidates for solid and liquid tumors. Larry Lamb, Ph.D., former professor in the UAB Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine Department of Medicine, and the scientific co-founder and current chief scientific officer at IN8bio Inc., helped develop the technology. INB-200 is the first genetically modified gamma-delta T cell therapy to enter clinical trials. The UAB intellectual property is licensed through the Bill L. Harbert Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The current standard of care for newly diagnosed glioma patients consists of primary resection and six weeks of daily chemoradiation therapy, followed by six cycles of monthly maintenance temozolimide therapy. This Stupp regimen achieves a median progression-free survival of seven months and an overall survival of approximately 14 to 16 months. The Phase 1 study assessed the safety and preliminary efficacy of adding DeltEx DRI gamma-delta T cells to maintenance therapy with temozolomide. The trial assessed the administration of 10 million cells per dose across three different dosing regimens increasing from a single dose delivered on Cycle 1, Day 1 during maintenance in Cohort 1, to three doses delivered on Day 1 of Cycles 1-3 in Cohort 2, to six doses delivered on Day 1 of Cycles 1-6 in Cohort 3. Thirteen patients have been enrolled and treated with INB-200, including three patients in Cohort 1 (one dose), four patients in Cohort 2 (three doses) and six patients in Cohort 3 (six doses). All of the patients in the Phase 1 study who received all of their protocol-defined treatments with INB-200 exceeded the median progression-free survival of seven months, including one patient in Cohort 2 who remains alive and progression-free after nearly three years. "For far too long, there has been little advancement for patients with glioblastoma multiforme to improve their treatment outcomes," Nabors said. "The addition of multiple intracranial injections of IN8bio's DeltEX DRI gamma-delta T cells shows the potential for extending progression-free survival in this patient population, when administered in combination with the current standard of care used to treat newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients." No treatment-related serious adverse events have been reported in any cohort. "The safety pro gamma-delta T cells continues to be strong across all three dose cohorts with no cell therapy-related toxicities such as immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome or cytokine release syndrome reported in patients receiving up to the maximum dose of six infusions of the therapy," said Trishna Goswami, M.D., chief medical officer for IN8bio. "We are now dosing newly diagnosed patients in Arm A of a Phase 2 study with INB-400, evaluating up to six infusions of our autologous gamma-delta T cells in combination with the Stupp protocol." Radiographic evaluation pre- and post-treatment included resolution of midline shift in one patient with evidence of changes in enhancement attributed to treatment effect in multiple patients. One subject was found to have a 36 percent decrease in a lesion attributed to positive treatment effect. "As these encouraging results from our ongoing INB-200 Phase 1 study continue to mature, we look forward to reporting additional results from a long-term follow-up of Cohort 3 at future medical meetings," said William Ho, CEO and co-founder of IN8bio. These preliminary clinical data were presented at a poster session of the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology, or ASCO, Annual Meeting in Chicago. Mina Lobbous, M.D., assistant professor of neurology at Cleveland Clinic (after completing his Neuro-Oncology fellowship at UAB) was the poster presenter.

92% of evaluable patients treated with INB-200 for glioblastoma exceeded a median progression-free survival (PFS) of seven months achieved with the standard-of-care regimen (Stupp regimen) Majority of fully dosed patients exceeded the expected median PFS based on age and tumor status; one patient from Cohort 2 remains alive and progression free at almost three years Radiologic evaluation indicative of “treatment effect” including changes in MRI enhancement and resolution of mid-line shift NEW YORK, June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta (γδ) T cell therapies, presented encouraging preliminary clinical data of INB-200 at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago on June 1, 2024. The preliminary data demonstrated that 92% of evaluable patients treated with INB-200 exceeded a median PFS of 7 months (median follow-up: 11.7 months) with concomitant temozolomide (TMZ), as of a data cutoff date of May 30, 2024. The survival data along with radiographic improvements are indicative of positive treatment effects, which highlight the potential of IN8bio’s genetically modified, chemotherapy-resistant gamma-delta T cells as a potential first-in-class therapy for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). The Phase 1 study assessed the safety and preliminary efficacy of the addition of DeltEx DRI gamma-delta T cells to maintenance therapy with TMZ. The trial assessed the administration of 1x107 cells per dose across three different dosing regimens increasing from a single dose delivered on cycle 1 day 1 during maintenance in Cohort 1, to three doses delivered on day 1 of cycles 1-3 in Cohort 2, to six doses delivered on day 1 of cycles 1-6 in Cohort 3. Thirteen patients have been enrolled and treated with INB-200, including three patients in Cohort 1 (1 dose), four patients in Cohort 2 (3 doses) and six patients in Cohort 3 (6 doses). “For far too long, there has been little advancement for patients with GBM to improve their treatment outcomes,” said Burt Nabors, M.D., Division Director, Neuro-oncology at the Heersink School of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “The addition of multiple intracranial injections of IN8bio’s DeltEx DRI gamma-delta T cells shows the potential for extending progression-free survival in this patient population when administered in combination with the current standard of care used to treat newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients.” The current standard of care for newly diagnosed glioma patients consists of primary resection, six weeks of daily chemoradiation therapy followed by six cycles of monthly maintenance TMZ therapy (Stupp regimen), which achieves a median PFS of 7 months and an overall survival (OS) of approximately 14 to 16 months. All of the patients in the Phase 1 study that received all of their protocol defined treatments with INB-200 exceeded a median PFS of 7 months, including one patient in Cohort 2 that remains alive and progression free for nearly three years. “The safety pro gamma-delta T cells continues to be strong across all three dose cohorts with no cell therapy-related toxicities such as immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome or cytokine release syndrome reported in patients receiving up to the maximum dose of six infusions of the therapy,” said Trishna Goswami, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, IN8bio. “We are now dosing newly diagnosed patients in Arm A of the Phase 2 study with INB-400, evaluating up to six infusions of our autologous gamma-delta T cells in combination with the Stupp protocol.” The poster presentation at ASCO included promising activity and safety data for the fully enrolled trial, as of the data cutoff date of May 1, 2024. Key findings from the ongoing Phase 1 study: All patients who completed all protocol mandated doses surpassed a median standard-of-care PFS of 7 months, with a majority also exceeding the expected PFS based on their age and MGMT status of their tumors. 92% of evaluable patients treated with INB-200 for GBM exceeded a median PFS of 7 months achieved with the standard-of-care regimen (Stupp regimen). One patient with an IDH-mutant glioma remains alive and progression free at 34.9+ months; IDH-mutant patients in a recently published clinical trial of an IDH inhibitor demonstrated a median PFS of 11.1 months in the control arm and 28.5 months in the experimental arm. No treatment-related serious adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, cytokine release syndrome, infusion reactions, or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome have been reported in any cohort. The most common treatment emergent adverse events were Grade 1-2 toxicities consisting of white blood cell and platelet count decreases related to standard-of-care TMZ. Preserved gamma-delta T cells were found in relapsed tumor 148 days after initial DRI infusion in one patient with paired biopsies, pointing to durability of DRI gamma-delta T cells. Radiographic evaluation pre- and post-treatment included resolution of midline shift in one patient with evidence of changes in enhancement attributed to treatment effect in multiple patients. One subject was found to have a 36% decrease in a lesion attributed to positive treatment effect. “As these encouraging results from our ongoing INB-200 Phase 1 study continue to mature, we look forward to reporting additional results from a long-term follow-up of cohort 3 at future medical meetings,” said William Ho, CEO and co-founder, IN8bio.
