NANTES, France, May 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OSE ImmunotherapeuticsOSE Immunotherapeutics SA (ISIN: FR0012127173; Mnemo: OSE) has been invited to provide an update on its R&D programs in immuno-oncology at two dedicated international conferences in May and June. The Company’s broad presence in scientific cancer research events confirms its expertise in the highly attractive field of myeloid cells and macrophages, identified as poor prognostic factors in oncology and in immune escape mechanisms of cancer immunotherapies. Immuno-Oncology Summit Europe 2022
May 23-25, London, UK, and Online
Date and time of presentation: Monday, May 23rd at 11:00
Myeloid Checkpoints: Validated and Novel Targets from Target Validation to Clinical Translation
Tumor Myeloid-Directed Therapies Summit
Date and time of presentation: Wednesday, June 15th at 10:00am ET
Modulating Myeloid Cell Functionality via the SIRPa-CD47 axis and Novel CLEC1 Checkpoints to Bridge the Adaptive and Innate Immune Systems The presentations will focus on:
* CLEC-1, a novel checkpoint to regulate the antigen cross-presentation properties of dendritic cells; The identification and validation of novel immune checkpoint targets and development of their antagonists as an innovation in cancer immunotherapy to enhance myeloid cells and promote antigen presentation to bridge the innate and adaptative immune system;
How the SIRPα-CD47 axis stimulates macrophages to recruit the adaptive immune arm via chemoattraction, and inhibition of this pathway may avoid T cell exclusion in synergy with T cell immune checkpoint and clinical translation. OSE Immunotherapeutics is an integrated biotechnology company focused on developing and partnering therapies to control the immune system for Immuno-Oncology and Immuno-Inflammation. Its balanced first-in-class clinical and preclinical portfolio has a diversified risk profile: Immuno-Oncology first-in-class products
Tedopi ® (innovative neoepitope combination): the Company’s most advanced product; positive results for Phase 3 trial (Atalante 1) in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer patients in secondary resistance after checkpoint inhibitor failure. Other ongoing combination trials sponsored by cooperative clinical research groups in oncology:
BiCKI®: bispecific fusion protein platform built on the key backbone component of anti-PD1 combined with a new immunotherapy target (for example: BiCKI®-IL7, preclinical stage) to increase anti-tumor efficacy. Immuno-Inflammation first-in-class products
CoVepiT: a prophylactic second-generation vaccine activating cytotoxic T lymphocytes against COVID-19, developed using optimized epitopes from SARS-CoV2 viral proteins, epitopes non impacted by multi-variants. Shows good tolerance and very good level of T cell immune response. In clinical testing, a long-term memory response was confirmed at 6 months.
