These new data further support the clinical benefit observed in the TPST-1120 Phase 1 data presented in an oral presentation at ASCO 2022.

Key Points: 
  • These new data further support the clinical benefit observed in the TPST-1120 Phase 1 data presented in an oral presentation at ASCO 2022.
  • “Preclinical data presented at AACR further demonstrate that TPST-1120 has the potential to positively transform the tumor microenvironment and expand the activity of anti-tumor immunity in kidney cancer,” said Sam Whiting, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of R&D at Tempest.
  • In preclinical models of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), treatment with TPST-1120 reduced tumor growth by 52%-56% as monotherapy.
  • Additional improvement in anti-cancer activity was demonstrated in combination treatment with standard first-line RCC cabozantinib or anti-PD1 therapy, where tumor inhibition was 81% and 74%, respectively.
