MacroGenics: Positive Presentation on Prostate Cancer Therapy Trial

 

  • Twelve of 42 patients (28.6%) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) cohort achieved ≥ 50% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reduction (PSA50), including 9 (21.4%) who achieved ≥ 90% PSA reduction (PSA90)

  • Nine of 35 patients (25.7%) with measurable mCRPC achieved confirmed partial responses

  • Manageable overall safety profile observed across multiple expansion cohorts

  • Company plans to initiate Phase 2 study in mCRPC in 2023

MacroGenics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGNX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today announced preliminary safety and anti-tumor activity data from the dose expansion phase of the Company’s ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of lorigerlimab, a bispecific, tetravalent PD-1 × CTLA-4 DART® molecule. This investigational molecule was designed to block PD-1 with enhanced CTLA-4 blockade on dual PD-1/CTLA-4-expressing cells, such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), while maintaining maximal PD-1 blockade on all PD-1-expressing cells. The preliminary data is being presented in a poster titled “Lorigerlimab, a Bispecific PD-1 × CTLA-4 DART Molecule in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Phase 1 Expansion Cohort” (Poster #155) at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary (ASCO-GU) Cancers Symposium taking place February 16-18, 2023, in San Francisco, CA.

Cohort Expansion Results Update

The ASCO-GU abstract included data as of September 10, 2022; updated data as of a December 12, 2022 cut-off are included below and will be presented at ASCO-GU.

As of the December 12, 2022 data cut-off, 118 patients with mCRPC, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer or microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer were enrolled in the cohort expansion phase of the lorigerlimab Phase 1 study at the dose of 6.0 mg/kg, administered intravenously every three weeks (Q3W). Confirmed objective responses were observed across the histology-specific cohorts; preliminary efficacy results for mCRPC are presented in the poster and below.
