Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. ("Aptevo" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:APVO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel immuno-oncology therapeutics based on its proprietary ADAPTIR™ and ADAPTIR-FLEX™ platform technologies, today announced new remission data on four additional patients. The new data includes one patient who achieved a complete remission (CR), one patient who achieved a complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) and two patients who achieved bone marrow complete remissions, or morphological leukemia-free state (MLFS), in the Company's on-going multi-cohort, multi-center Phase 1b expansion trial evaluating APVO436 for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The Company also provided an update on a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patient from the dose escalation part of the trial.
Cohort 1 currently has the highest enrollment rate in the trial and preliminary data show that a total of four out of 11 response-evaluable patients (36%) reported on to date, have experienced remission while on therapy. Of the three new cohort 1 patients announced today, one is a CR, one is a CRi, and one is a bone marrow complete remission (MLFS). Cohort 1 is a combination arm of the trial that includes relapsed patients and those with primary refractory AML that failed to respond to frontline standard induction chemotherapy. Cohort 1 patients receive standard chemotherapy drug cytarabine or the standard chemotherapy triple drug combination MEC (mitoxantrone, etoposide, cytarabine) plus APVO436.
The fourth new patient reported on today participated in cohort 3, a monotherapy arm of the trial, and achieved a bone marrow complete remission (MLFS).
