- Results of dose escalation portion from phase 1b/2 trials of ADG126 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapies, including confirmed clinical responses, pave way for dose expansion in specific tumors -
- Tumor shrinkage and prolonged stable disease observed in ‘cold’ tumors such as MSS CRC -
- Robust safety profile allows repeat dosing, sustained target engagement and Treg depletion to maximize long-term clinical benefit -
SAN DIEGO, CA, USA and SUZHOU, China I April 18, 2023 I Adagene Inc. (“Adagene”) (Nasdaq: ADAG), a company transforming the discovery and development of antibody-based therapies, today announced interim results from its combination dose escalation studies of the masked, anti-CTLA-4 SAFEbody, ADG126, presented at the AACR Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, April 14-19, 2023.
Two poster presentations on ADG126 SAFEbody reported results of ongoing phase 1b/2 trials at multiple dosing regimens (6 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) in combination with either pembrolizumab or toripalimab, as well as updated data for ADG126 monotherapy in heavily pre-treated patients.
Both posters, “Interim results of a phase 1b/2 study of ADG126 (a masked anti-CTLA-4 SAFEbody®) monotherapy and in combination with toripalimab (an anti-PD-1 antibodyPD-1 antibody) in patients (pts) with advanced / metastatic solid tumors” and “Initial results of a phase 1b/2 study of ADG126 (a masked anti-CTLA-4 SAFEbody®) in combination with pembrolizumab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors,” may be viewed on the company’s website here.
Key findings include:
Further, the strong safety profile of ADG126 has enabled a randomized clinical trial that is being initiated in collaboration with Roche to evaluate ADG126 in combination with atezolizumab and bevacizumab as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced/metastatic HCC. The trial is being sponsored and conducted by Roche.
Solid Tumor Potential Shown for ADG153, a masked, anti-CD47 IgG1 SAFEbody
A third poster, “ADG153, a novel masked anti-CD47 IgG1 SAFEbody, demonstrates strong in vivo anti-tumor activities in preclinical solid tumor models and preferential CD47 target engagement in the tumor microenvironment,” reported preclinical data for ADG153. The data demonstrated strong in vivo anti-tumor activities in solid tumor models and a robust safety profile due to preferential CD47 target engagement in the tumor microenvironment.
The three posters are available on the company’s website at www.adagene.com/pipeline/publications in accordance with the AACR embargo policy.
