ImmuneOnco reported that 23 patients with sq-NSCLC had been treated with monotherapy ‘2510 as of June 13, 2025. All patients had failed previous PD-(L)1 inhibitor plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy, and 6 patients had previously received VEGF-directed therapy. Patients were treated with ‘2510 at different dose levels (3, 6, 10, or 20 mg/kg Q2W), with the majority of patients treated at the 20 mg/kg Q2W dose level. In the 17 efficacy evaluable patients, the objective response rate ("ORR") was 35.3%, with the majority of responses seen in patients with negative and low PD-L1 TPS scores. Most patients remain on treatment with the opportunity for additional tumor assessments, including multiple patients currently with stable disease. In general, ‘2510 was safe and well tolerated across the Phase 1 trial, with mostly manageable low grade infusion reactions in the first cycle as previously reported. In the squamous subset there were two Grade 3 VEGF-related adverse events of proteinuria and bleeding. Enrollment is continuing at the 20 mg/kg Q2W dose level in this study.
"’2510 was designed for potential best-in-class activity with a VEGF trap for broader neutralization of VEGF ligands and ADCC enhancement for direct tumor killing," said Jamie Freedman, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Instil. "ImmuneOnco’s promising preliminary monotherapy data for ‘2510 in patients with sq-NSCLC who have failed prior therapies compares favorably with other molecules in the PD-(L)1xVEGF bispecific class."
