PHST001 / Pheast Therap - LARVOL DELTA

PHST001, a humanized anti-CD24 hIgG4 antibody, is effective against metastatic tumors and retains its anti-tumor activity in the presence of competing IgG (AACR 2026) - "In vivo, PHST001 shows significantly greater efficacy against solid tumors than the anti-CD47 antibody Magrolimab...When combined with a companion agent, such as the anti-Her2 ADC trastuzumab deruxtecan, the Fc-inert version of PHST001 dramatically increased phagocytosis, demonstrating the contribution of CD24 blockade to PHST001 efficacy in absence of direct Fc receptor engagement... PHST001 prevents metastatic spread and demonstrates anti-tumor activity against established metastases. In vitro, peripheral blood cells expressing CD24 are protected from PHST001-mediated phagocytosis due to competition for Fc receptors by high levels of endogenous IgG, predicting protection in treated patients. PHST001 retains anti-tumor effects in vivo despite polyclonal IgG presence, indicating that competition for Fc receptors by endogenous IgG is not a barrier for efficacy in the tumor microenvironment."

PHST001 combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy enhances macrophage-mediated elimination of tumor cells (AACR 2026) - "We subsequently validated select chemotherapy and PHST001 combinations (e.g. cisplatin) in vivo with mouse xenograft studies. Mechanistically, we discovered that certain chemotherapy agents increased the surface expression of the 'Eat me' signal phosphatidylserine (PS) on cancer cells, while others directly enhanced the phagocytosis capacity of macrophages. Taken together, these data support therapeutic combination of PHST001 with multiple standard-of-care chemotherapies to deepen tumor-killing response in patients."

Pheast Therapeutics to Present Initial Phase 1a Clinical Data and Two New Preclinical Studies of PHST001, a Novel Anti-CD24 Antibody, at AACR 2026 (Businesswire) - "The presentations include initial data from the ongoing Phase 1 study of PHST001, an IgG4 anti-CD24 macrophage checkpoint inhibitor, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Two additional preclinical abstracts evaluate PHST001 in combination with multiple classes of standard-of-care chemotherapy to enhance macrophage-mediated tumor cell clearance, and in metastatic tumor models assessing activity, Fc receptor contribution, and the impact of endogenous IgG competition."

Pheast partners with Lonza to produce cancer-gobbling CD24 drug (BioProcess International) - "The company has partnered with contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) Lonza to manufacture its drug substance (DS) and drug product (DP), with the cell-line development and DS work done in Visp and the DP work done in Basel, both in Switzerland. That partnership has enabled Pheast to attain the supply needed of its lead drug candidate, PHST001, for first-in-human clinical trials. The drug was developed as a therapeutic against cluster of cell differentiation (CD) 24, a known 'don’t eat me' signal that is highly expressed in ovarian and breast cancers."
