SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd (“Junshi Biosciences”, HKEX: 1877; SSE: 688180), a leading innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapies, announced today that the updated preliminary data from a Phase I study of tifcemalimab as a single agent or in combination with toripalimab in relapsed/refractory lymphomas in a poster at the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Tifcemalimab is the world’s first-in-human anti-tumor anti-BTLA monoclonal antibody independently developed by the company.

Key Points: 
  • The observed clinical activity of tifcemalimab in combination with toripalimab in lymphoma patients refractory to checkpoint inhibitors warrants further evaluation.
  • “However, if PD-1 inhibitors fail, there is no standard treatment to resort to, thus new treatment methods are urgently needed in clinical practice.
  • This is the very first time an anti-BTLA antibody was evaluated for safety and efficacy in the treatment of lymphomas.
  • Now, updated results from the clinical trial for lymphomas have been presented at the ASH annual meeting.

NGM707 is a novel dual antagonist antibody that inhibits the Immunoglobulin-like Transcript 2 (ILT2) and Immunoglobulin-like Transcript 4 (ILT4) receptors.

Key Points: 
  • NGM707 is a novel dual antagonist antibody that inhibits the Immunoglobulin-like Transcript 2 (ILT2) and Immunoglobulin-like Transcript 4 (ILT4) receptors.
  • As a result, we believe NGM707 offers a potentially compelling treatment profile and could represent an important therapeutic advancement for patients with cancer.
  • NGM707 was designed with the goal of improving patient immune responses to tumors by inhibiting both the ILT2 and ILT4 receptors.
  • Both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions of the study will provide the opportunity to evaluate correlations between biomarker changes and clinical outcomes.

NGM Discloses Third Oncology Development Candidate, NGM438, a Novel Antagonist Antibody Inhibiting LAIR1 for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, December 9, 2020

LAIR1 is a collagen-binding inhibitory receptor expressed on immune cells1-2 that is implicated in immune suppression.

Key Points: 
  • LAIR1 is a collagen-binding inhibitory receptor expressed on immune cells1-2 that is implicated in immune suppression.
  • LAIR1 and collagens are upregulated in multiple cancer types3-7 where collagens are produced by activated stromal cells.
  • Designed to inhibit LAIR1 interactions with stromal-derived collagens, NGM438 has the potential to block this stromal checkpoint and restore anti-tumor immune responses.
  • NGM707 is a novel dual antagonist antibody that inhibits Immunoglobulin-like transcript 2 (ILT2) and Immunoglobulin-like transcript 4 (ILT4).
