Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that develops from plasma cells in the bone marrow and can affect more than one part of the body.

Key Points: 
  • Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that develops from plasma cells in the bone marrow and can affect more than one part of the body.
  • Plasma cells are a type of blood cell that makes antibodies to fight infection, created by bone marrow.
  • Heidelberg Pharma’s Phase I/IIa clinical study is an ongoing, non-randomised, open label study which is actively enrolling patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders expressing BCMA.
  • Prof. Dr. Andreas Pahl, Chief Executive Officer at Heidelberg Pharma, said: “Our proprietary ATAC candidate HDP-101 is showing exciting potential for treating multiple myeloma.

Coherus Presents Preclinical Data for CHS-1000, a Novel Anti-ILT4 Antibody, at the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting

Monday, April 8, 2024

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherus BioSciences, Inc. (Coherus, Nasdaq: CHRS), today presented preclinical data for its immuno-oncology pipeline candidate, CHS-1000, a novel ILT4 monoclonal antibody, at the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting being held in San Diego, California. Data presented show CHS-1000 is a potent monoclonal antibody that binds selectively to human ILT4 (also known as LILRB2) with high affinity, efficiently blocking interaction with its ligands and reversing immunosuppressive functions, leading to activation of human dendritic cells and T cells and promoting polarization of macrophages to an inflammatory M1 phenotype.

Key Points: 
  • “Myeloid cell-mediated immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment is a major contributor to tumor immune invasion and PD-1 resistance.
  • The data presented in this poster demonstrate the potential for CHS-1000 to reverse myeloid suppression and activate an inflammatory immune response.
  • “CHS-1000 is our first internally discovered development candidate, and we are excited to be filing the IND this quarter.
  • ILT4 and CD163, a marker of suppressive (M2) macrophages, are highly expressed in a broad range of solid tumors.
