Key Points: 
  • In addition, presented data highlighted the robust anti-tumor efficacy exhibited by lead molecules for the EV-104 and EV-106 programs in patient-derived solid tumor models.
  • The EVOLVE platform uniquely unleashes potent, selective and integrated T cell costimulation, which amplifies and sustains the tumor killing capacity of these T cells.
  • The platform also takes advantage the company’s understanding of specific tumor cell characteristics to guide tumor antigen prioritization and program differentiation.
  • In a poster presentation at SITC, EvolveImmune spotlighted advances to the company’s first-in-class EV-104 program, a novel multi-functional T cell engager with integrated CD2 costimulation which conditionally targets ULBP2.

Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative Initiates Landmark Phase 2 RECAST DCIS Platform Trial to Evaluate Alternative DCIS Treatments with Atossa Therapeutics, Havah Therapeutics, and the Menarini Group

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative (QLHC) announces the enrollment launch for the Re-Evaluating Conditions for Active Surveillance Suitability as Treatment: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (RECAST DCIS), a Phase 2 platform study aimed at preventing the progression of DCIS to breast cancer. The study is evaluating three investigational endocrine therapy arms: (Z)-endoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) in development by Atossa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ATOS); HAVAH T+Ai™, a proprietary combination of testosterone (T) and anastrozole (Ai) that targets the androgen and estrogen receptor pathways in development by Havah Therapeutics; and ORSERDU® (elacestrant), the only FDA approved oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (oSERD) in development by Stemline Therapeutics Inc. (Stemline), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group. 

Key Points: 
  • Surgery is the current standard treatment for DCIS even though many patients never progress to breast cancer, which means that patients are often over-treated with invasive procedures.
  • A key element in reducing overtreatment of DCIS is identifying biomarkers that reflect the risk of progression so that those with low-risk lesions are spared surgery.
  • RECAST DCIS features the assessment of imaging and molecular-based biomarkers in addition to evaluating new investigational agents in this setting.
  • The three collaborators for this trial, Atossa Therapeutics, Havah Therapeutics, and Stemline, all aim to find alternative solutions for DCIS patients and are providing different agents for assessment.

  • “We look forward to working with Atossa and think this project could provide proof of principle for novel approaches to estrogen receptor reinduction in triple negative breast cancer,” said Dr. Lyden.
  • “It’s called triple-negative breast cancer because it does not have any of the receptors that are commonly found in most breast cancers.
  • Activating the estrogen receptor and converting the tumor to ER+ would fundamentally transform the treatment paradigm for these patients.”
