Cogent Biosciences Announces Positive Data from Ongoing Phase 2

 Safety Data for 32 patients in trial

As of the data cutoff date of September 25, 2023, bezuclastinib continues to demonstrate a differentiated safety and tolerability profile across doses. The majority of adverse events were low grade and reversible and there were no related cognitive impairment or bleeding events reported. Related serious adverse events were reported in four patients including Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, Grade 3 hypersensitivity (mediator flare), Grade 3 leishmaniasis, and Grade 3 drug induced liver injury in a patient who was subsequently found to have biliary tract outflow obstruction. Nine patients required dose reduction due to adverse events, six of whom were at the 400mg dose, and three patients discontinued due to adverse events.

AbbVie, Genmab present new data for bispecific antibody epcoritamab

 AbbVie (ABBV) and Genmab (GMAB) announced that adult patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma previously treated with two or more prior therapies experienced strong and durable responses with high overall response and complete response rates when treated with epcoritamab, an investigational, subcutaneously administered T-cell engaging bispecific antibody. More than half of patients who responded to treatment in the study remained responsive to treatment at the time of data analysis. Updated data from this study include an optimized, step-up dosing schedule showing reduced incidence and severity of cytokine release syndrome, a notable side effect from immune-engaging cancer treatments. No new safety signals were detected. TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 19% of patients, and death related to TEAEs occurred in 13 patients.

Moderna, Merck begin late-stage study for mRNA cancer therapy

 Moderna and Merck & Co said on Monday they have started a late-stage trial of their experimental personalized mRNA cancer treatment in combination with blockbuster drug Keytruda for patients with a type of lung cancer.

The therapy, V940, belongs to a class of treatments called m-RNA-based individualized neoantigen therapy (INT) and is tailored for each patient to generate T-cells, a key part of the body's immune response, based on the specific mutational signature of a tumor.

Recruitment for the study has begun globally with the first patients enrolled in Australia, the companies said.

Moderna and Merck started a late-stage study in July testing the combination therapy in patients with melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer.
