MIRAMAR, Fla., Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCW Biologics Inc. (the “Company” or “HCW Biologics”) (NASDAQ: HCWB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel immunotherapies to lengthen healthspan by disrupting the link between inflammation and age-related diseases, announced results from a preliminary human data readout from an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial sponsored by the University of Minnesota to evaluate HCW9218, the lead drug candidate of HCW Biologics, in patients with solid tumors who failed at least two prior lines of therapy. Data from this study was presented at the 38th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (“SITC”) by Melissa A. Geller, M.D., M.S., Professor and Division Director of Gynecologic Oncology in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health at the University of Minnesota who serves as a Principal Investigator of this trial.

Key Points: 
  • The trial is now in its final expanded dose level, and the Company expects it to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • There has been one dose-limiting toxicity experience in this study, but it did not trigger stopping rules.
  • In addition, we believe, perhaps even more importantly, their extensive correlative studies provide valuable evidence that will inform our Phase 2 clinical studies in cancer indications.
  • With these strong results as a foundation, we believe we will be in a position to pivot to initiate our first Phase 2 clinical trial this year.”
