WATERTOWN, Mass., April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Acrivon” or “Acrivon Therapeutics”) (Nasdaq: ACRV), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing precision oncology medicines that it matches to patients whose tumors are predicted to be sensitive to each specific medicine by utilizing its proprietary proteomics-based patient responder identification platform, Acrivon Predictive Precision Proteomics (AP3), today announced data from two posters that the company presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.

Key Points: 
  • “Uniquely enabled by AP3, we designed a selective and potent dual inhibitor of both WEE1 and PKMYT1, ACR-2316, designed for potent single agent activity.
  • We presented preclinical data showing its superior activity versus benchmark WEE1 and PKMYT1 single-agent inhibitors in multiple cancer models and look forward to advancing this compound into the clinic.
  • The complete responses observed with ACR-2316 in human tumor xenograft mouse models were associated with strong WEE1 and balanced PKMYT1 inhibition activity in tumors.
  • This corresponded with the subsequent upregulation of ACR-368 OncoSignature biomarkers, indicating that the OncoSignature assay can predict which ULDG sensitized tumors would be responsive to treatment with ACR-368.

In preclinical studies, data demonstrated that IPH45 effectively inhibits Nectin-4 expressing tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, including in Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) refractory models.

Key Points: 
  • In preclinical studies, data demonstrated that IPH45 effectively inhibits Nectin-4 expressing tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, including in Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) refractory models.
  • Importantly, IPH45 shows stronger activity than EV, in multiple urothelial carcinoma PDX (patient-derived xenografted) mice models, across Nectin-4high and Nectin-4low expression levels.
  • “IPH45 is a novel and differentiated Nectin-4 ADC with preclinical efficacy in tumor types with various expression levels of Nectin-4.
  • Its exatecan payload allow for higher bystander-effect and a broader therapeutic index than MMAE-ADCs," commented Prof. Eric Vivier, DVM, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Innate Pharma.

- The Phase 1/2 PROSPER clinical trial is currently evaluating FMC-376 in patients with KRASG12C cancers, regardless of prior KRAS inhibitor therapy BOSTON and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frontier Medicines Corporation, a clinical-stage precision medicine company seeking to unlock the proteome to advance transformational therapies against otherwise undruggable disease-causing targets, today presented new preclinical data on its KRASG12C inhibitor, FMC-376, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 in San Diego, California. The new findings demonstrate FMC-376’s potential to overcome known mechanisms of innate and acquired resistance and in a CNS model of metastasis as a monotherapy and increase the efficacy of PD-1 immunotherapy in combination.

Key Points: 
  • “These data demonstrate FMC-376’s unmatched potential to overcome over 90 percent of known resistance mechanisms, including those cancers that have become refractory to approved KRAS inhibitors.
  • The differentiated dual direct mechanism of action of FMC-376 offers the potential to overcome the resistance and lack of response seen with current KRASG12C single-acting treatments.
  • These results reinforce that FMC-376 has the potential to overcome limitations of single-acting KRASG12C inhibitors.
  • The combination of FMC-376 with an immune checkpoint inhibitor also leads to an increased response and survival in preclinical models.
