ADORE: an open platform study of ruxolitinib in combination with other novel therapies in patients with myelofibrosis. (PubMed, Blood Adv) - P1/2 | "Forty-four patients were enrolled in Part 1 of the study of ruxolitinib in combination with siremadlin, rineterkib, sabatolimab, crizanlizumab, or NIS793. Overall, available data from ADORE suggest the feasibility and benefits of combining novel agents with ruxolitinib in patients with suboptimal response to ruxolitinib alone. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04097821."

Transforming Growth Factor-β Blockade in Pancreatic Cancer Enhances Sensitivity to Combination Chemotherapy in Mice (AACRPanCa 2024) - " We evaluated the TGFβ- blocking antibody NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine/nanoparticle (albumin-bound)- paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX (folinic acid [FOL], 5-fluorouracil [F], irinotecan [IRI] and oxaliplatin [OX]) in orthotopic pancreatic cancer models. TGFβ regulates pancreatic cancer cell plasticity between classical and basal cell states. TGFβ blockade in orthotropic models of pancreatic cancer enhances sensitivity to chemotherapy by promoting a classical malignant cell state. This study provides scientific rationale for evaluation of NIS793 with FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine/nanoparticle (albumin-bound) paclitaxel chemotherapy backbone in the clinical setting and supports the concept of manipulating cancer cell plasticity to increase the efficacy of combination therapy regimens."

No dose-limiting toxicities were observed....Overall 54 (49.5%) patients experienced ≥1 treatment-related adverse event, most commonly rash (n=16; 13.3%), pruritus (n=10; 8.3%), and fatigue (n=9; 7.5%). Three partial responses were reported: one in renal cell carcinoma (NIS793 30 mg/kg Q2W plus spartalizumab 400 mg Q4W), and two in the MSS-CRC expansion cohort. Biomarker data showed evidence of target engagement through increased TGF-β/NIS793 complexes and depleted active TGF-β in peripheral blood."
