CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDTX), a clinical-stage oncology company developing MasterKey therapies that target families of oncogenic mutations in patients with cancer, today presented additional data from the Phase 1 dose escalation trial of BDTX-1535 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), and initial data from a phase 0/1 “trigger” (“window of opportunity”) investigator-sponsored trial at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Clinical data from these trials in patients with recurrent GBM demonstrated brain penetrance of BDTX-1535, as well as safety and tolerability data similar to what has been previously described for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition, the Phase 1 trial demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity and duration of treatment for patients with previously treated GBM.

Key Points: 
  • In addition, the Phase 1 trial demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity and duration of treatment for patients with previously treated GBM.
  • Patients received increasing doses of BDTX-1535 in 21-day cycles to assess safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity.
  • Five patients remained on BDTX-1535 treatment for ≥4 months, 1 patient for ≥6 months, and 3 patients for ≥10 months.
  • Patients achieving the PK threshold were enrolled in the post-resection component of the study with an update expected in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Jasper Therapeutics to Present Data on Briquilimab in Mast Cell Driven Diseases at the EAACI Congress 2024

Retrieved on: 
torsdag, maj 30, 2024

The two preclinical studies being presented at EAACI showed the potential of briquilimab in asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD), respectively.

Key Points: 
  • The two preclinical studies being presented at EAACI showed the potential of briquilimab in asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD), respectively.
  • The asthma study demonstrated that a single dose of briquilimab can deplete mast cells in both inflamed and non-inflamed tissue as well as improve lung function in an allergen-induced asthma model.
  • In the AD study, treatment with briquilimab led to a reduction of dermal mast cells and inflammatory leukocytes, indicating that mast cells play a critical role in the pathogenesis of AD and that briquilimab has the potential to reverse AD pathology by depleting those cells.
  • Both preclinical studies utilized Jasper’s proprietary c-Kit Mouse™, which overcomes the limitations of standard models that do not bind antibodies directed at the human c-Kit receptor.
