REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherus BioSciences, Inc. (Coherus, Nasdaq: CHRS), today announced clinical data from the CHS-114, single agent dose escalation stage of its Phase 1 study at the ASCO Annual Meeting, taking place May 31 to June 4, 2024, at McCormick Place in Chicago. CHS-114 is a novel afucosylated human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) that selectively and potently targets human CCR8 with no off-target binding. CCR8 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that shows preferential expression on tumor resident Treg cells and has promise as a drug target for selectively targeting immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) without broadly depleting Treg cells, which has the known unwanted side effect of autoimmune activation.

Key Points: 
  • “The Phase 1 preliminary dose escalation results are an important milestone as we progress our innovative I-O pipeline.
  • Abstract # 2664: Preliminary Results of a Phase 1, First-in-human, Dose Escalation Study of the Anti-CCR8 Cytolytic Antibody, CHS-114 (formerly SRF114) in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors.
  • Preliminary results and acceptable safety profile support further evaluation of CHS-114 in combination treatment with toripalimab and other I-O agents.
  • In 19 patients evaluable for response, no objective responses were yet noted, while the stable disease rate was 47%.
