BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Affini-T Therapeutics, Inc., a precision immunotherapy company unlocking the power of T cells against oncogenic driver mutations, today announced that preclinical data from its oncogenic driver programs targeting HLA-A*11:01 KRAS G12D and HLA-A*02:01 p53 R175H will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 held in San Diego, CA. In addition, two trial-in-progress posters for Affini-T's Phase 1 clinical-stage programs targeting KRAS G12V, the company-sponsored AFNT-211 study and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer CenterCancer Center investigator-initiated AFNT-111 study, will be presented at the same conference. Poster presentation details are as follows: Title: Non-viral engineered T cell therapy specific for the hotspot mutation p53 R175H that integrates signal 1 (TCR), signal 2 (co-stimulation) and signal 3 (cytokine) and co-opts FasL-dependent apoptosis to achieve a coordinated antitumor CD4/8 T cell response Session: Adoptive Cell Therapies 1: Tumor Antigen-Specific T-cells and TCR-T Abstract Number: 7242 Presenting Author: Gary Shapiro, Ph.D., VP Biology Discovery, Affini-T Therapeutics Date/Time: Sunday, April 7, 2024, 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM Title: AFNT-212: A TRAC-knocked-in KRAS G12D-specific TCR-T cell product enhanced with CD8αβ and a chimeric cytokine receptor for treatment of solid cancers Session: Adoptive Cell Therapies 1: Tumor Antigen-Specific T-cells and TCR-T Abstract Number: 5973 Presenting Author: Loïc Vincent, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Affini-T Therapeutics Date/Time: Sunday, April 7, 2024, 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM Title: Identifying novel patient-derived T cell receptors targeting TP53 public neoantigens Session: Adoptive Cell Therapies 1: Tumor Antigen-Specific T-cells and TCR-T Abstract Number: 441 Presenting Author: Michael V. Gormally, M.D., Ph.D., Fellow, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Date/Time: Sunday, April 7, 2024, 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM Title: AFNT-211: A phase 1 study of autologous CD4+ and CD8+ T cells engineered to express a high avidity HLA-A*11:01-restricted, KRAS G12V-specific, transgenic TCR; CD8α/β coreceptor; and a FAS41BB switch receptor in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors Session: Phase I Clinical Trials in Progress 1 Abstract Number: CT076 Presenting Author: Dirk Nagorsen, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Affini-T Therapeutics Date/Time: Monday, April 8, 2024, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM Title: Phase I study of autologous CD8+ and CD4+ transgenic T cells expressing high-affinity KRAS G12V mutation-specific T cell receptors (FH-A11KRASG12V-TCR) in patients with metastatic pancreatic, colorectal, and non-small cell lung cancers with KRAS G12V mutations Session: Phase I Clinical Trials in Progress 1 Abstract Number: CT082 Presenting Author: Aude G. Chapuis, M.D., Fred Hutchinson Cancer CenterCancer Center Date/Time: Monday, April 8, 2024, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM About Affini-T Therapeutics Affini-TAffini-T is a leading precision immunotherapy company targeting core oncogenic driver mutations to develop potentially curative therapies for patients with solid tumors. Our differentiated cell therapy platforms harness state-of-the-art engineering, synthetic biology, and gene editing capabilities to target even the most devastating cancer-driving mutations, beginning with KRAS. We leverage these tools to optimize T cell functions and rewrite the rules of the solid tumor microenvironment, enabling the potential for sustained clinical outcomes in patients. Building on the world-class innovation inherent in our leadership team, founders and technologies, we are powered to develop transformational medicines that last.
