Pathios Therapeutics to Present Preclinical Data Highlighting Potential of GPR65 Inhibition as a Powerful Anti-Tumor Immunotherapy Strategy at SITC 2022

On November 3, 2022 Pathios Therapeutics Limited ("Pathios"), a biotech company focused on the development of first-in-class therapies for cancer, reported that new preclinical data highlighting the therapeutic potential of the company’s novel GPR65 inhibition platform will be the focus of a poster presentation at the upcoming 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) (SITC 2022) (Press release, Pathios Therapeutics, NOV 3, 2022, View Source [SID1234623061]). Presented results will showcase the company’s unique approach to "macrophage conditioning" with novel GPR65 inhibitors as a means to reversing the immunosuppression that results from an acidic tumor microenvironment, and, in turn, driving anti-tumor activity. SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) 2022 is being held November 8-12, 2022, in Boston, Massachusetts.

Details of the company’s presentation at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) 2022 are as follows:

About Acidity in the Tumor Microenvironment
The acidic tumor microenvironment, inherent to many cancers, causes a profound immunosuppression of infiltrating immune cells. This environment disarms the anti-cancer immune response and negates the effectiveness of current immunotherapies. This is particularly evident in tumor associated macrophages (TAM), where acidity is sensed by the cell-surface receptor GPR65, leading to the widespread suppression of a host of pro-inflammatory mediators and anti-tumorigenic genes, as well as the upregulation of several tissue repair genes and angiogenic factors.

ImmunoGenesis to Present Pre-Clinical Data from Lead Program at Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Conference

On November 3, 2022 ImmunoGenesis, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing science-driven immune therapies, reported that two poster presentations on its lead development program, IMGS-001, will be presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) 37th Annual Meeting (SITC 2022), November 8-12, 2022, in Boston, MA (Press release, ImmunoGenesis, NOV 3, 2022, View Source [SID1234623060]). The posters will be available on the ImmunoGenesis website following the conference.

About IMGS-001, a PD-L1/PD-L2 Dual-Specific Inhibitor
ImmunoGenesis’ lead program is IMGS-001, a PD-L1/PD-L2 dual-specific inhibitor with an engineered cytotoxic effector function. As the first molecule to target PD-L2 in addition to PD-L1, IMGS-001 has the potential to shut down the entire PD-1 pathway, potentially providing superior blockade compared to other PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors. The built-in engineered effector function allows IMGS-001 to kill immunosuppressive cells that express PD-L1 and/or PD-L2. Preclinical data showed that IMGS-001 offered five times the response rate in cold tumors than currently available immunotherapies. Additionally, IMGS-001 can provide a foundation for add-on therapies.

In addition, an analysis of the safety and tolerability of pirtobrutinib monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies who were intolerant to a prior covalent BTK inhibitor will be presented in a poster presentation. Submitted abstracts on CLL/SLL, Richter transformation, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and intolerance to prior covalent BTK therapy utilized a January 2022 data cut-off date, and the presentations will utilize a July 2022 data cut-off date.

About Pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305)
Pirtobrutinib is an investigational, highly selective, reversible (non-covalent) Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. BTK plays a key role in the B-cell antigen receptor signaling pathway, which is required for the development, activation and survival of normal white blood cells, known as B-cells, and malignant B-cells. BTK is a validated molecular target found across numerous B-cell leukemias and lymphomas including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Pirtobrutinib was developed to reversibly bind BTK, deliver consistently high target coverage regardless of BTK turnover rate, and preserve activity in the presence of the C481 acquired resistance mutations. Interested patients and physicians can contact the Loxo@Lilly Physician and Patient BTK Clinical Trial Hotline at 1-855-LOXO-305 or email [email protected].

About the BRUIN Phase 1/2 Trial
The BRUIN Phase 1/2 clinical trial is the ongoing first-in-human, global, multi-center evaluation of pirtobrutinib in patients previously treated for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or other non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL).

The trial includes a Phase 1 dose-escalation phase, a Phase 1b combination arm, and a Phase 2 dose-expansion phase. The primary endpoint of the Phase 1/1b study is safety, and secondary endpoints include pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of the drug combinations. The primary endpoint for Phase 2 is overall response rate. Secondary endpoints include duration of response, overall survival, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
