The company also announced that the first patient has been dosed with PRTH-101 in the Phase 1b multiple-ascending dose trial cohort for the treatment of patients with immune-excluded solid tumors.

Key Points: 
  • The company also announced that the first patient has been dosed with PRTH-101 in the Phase 1b multiple-ascending dose trial cohort for the treatment of patients with immune-excluded solid tumors.
  • The Phase 1b clinical trial will evaluate PRTH-101 treatment across three different dose levels in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab).
  • The outcome of the trial will guide the company in determining the recommended Phase 2 dose for PRTH-101.
  • Cancer patients suffering from immune excluded tumors remain in need of effective therapies,” said Wendye Robbins, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Incendia.

  • A high proportion of tumor cells (median of 0.76) expressed DDR1 across all epithelial tumor types.
  • DDR1 expression was uniformly low in mesenchymal tumors (median of 9 cells/mm2) compared to epithelial tumors (median of 2803 cells/mm2).
  • The third part (Ph1c) consists of dose expansion in disease-directed cohorts to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of PRTH-101 monotherapy and/or combination therapy.

Parthenon Therapeutics , a precision oncology company discovering and developing a novel class of therapies that reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME), today announced that the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC) has published results from a collaboration between Parthenon Therapeutics, The University of Texas Health Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston) and George Washington University, demonstrating that PRTH-101 potently inhibits the adhesion of collagen receptor discoid in domain receptor-1 (DDR1)-expressing cancer cells to collagen substrates and DDR1 autophosphorylation induced by collagen.

Key Points: 
  • Parthenon Therapeutics , a precision oncology company discovering and developing a novel class of therapies that reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME), today announced that the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC) has published results from a collaboration between Parthenon Therapeutics, The University of Texas Health Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston) and George Washington University, demonstrating that PRTH-101 potently inhibits the adhesion of collagen receptor discoid in domain receptor-1 (DDR1)-expressing cancer cells to collagen substrates and DDR1 autophosphorylation induced by collagen.
  • The article entitled, “A highly selective humanized DDR1 mAb reverses immune exclusion by disrupting collagen fiber alignment in breast cancer,” describes the humanization of PRTH-101 and the mechanism by which the drug candidate binds to its target to inhibit DDR1.
  • The publication is now available online on the JITC website .
  • “This study reinforces the development of PRTH-101 as a cancer therapeutic, and also sheds light on a new therapeutic strategy to modulate collagen alignment in the tumor ECM for enhancing antitumor immunity.”

Parthenon Therapeutics , a precision oncology company discovering and developing a novel class of therapies that reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME), today announced that the first patient has been dosed with PRTH-101 in a Phase 1, first-in-human clinical trial for patients with immune-excluded solid tumors.

Key Points: 
  • Parthenon Therapeutics , a precision oncology company discovering and developing a novel class of therapies that reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME), today announced that the first patient has been dosed with PRTH-101 in a Phase 1, first-in-human clinical trial for patients with immune-excluded solid tumors.
  • PRTH-101 is a first-in-class Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 (DDR1) antagonist monoclonal antibody that is expressed at very high levels in solid tumors with low levels of T cell infiltration.
  • PRTH-101 is the first development candidate from Parthenon’s broad TME-focused pipeline to enter clinical development.
  • PRTH-101 uniquely targets DDR1 and has demonstrated, in preclinical models, anti-tumor activity as a single agent and in combination with an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor.

  • However, most patients with solid tumors lack immune cells in physical proximity to tumor cells.
  • This can be due to collagen barriers that prevent immune cells from reaching tumor cells in immune excluded tumors.
  • The poster detailing these findings - #2108 - will be presented at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting on Monday, April 17, 2023.
