IM1240 / Purple Biotech - LARVOL DELTA

Purple Biotech Presents New Data for its Novel Tri-Specific T Cell and NK Cell Engagers Antibody Platform, CAPTN-3, at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics (GlobeNewswire) - "'Our Investigational New Drug (IND) enabling work is aimed to reach first in human clinical studies with our lead candidate IM1240 potentially by 2026.'...CAPTN-3 is a novel platform technology of conditionally activated tri-specific antibodies engaging both T cells and NK cells to target cancers expressing Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA)...to induce a strong and selective immune response against the tumor....The lead compound, IM1240 demonstrated high affinity binding towards CD3 & NKG2A proteins and CD3 & NKG2A expressing cells, while no binding was detected using the mutated versions of the tribody, indicating specificity. The synergistic effects of the αCD3 and αNKG2A arms in suppressing 5T4+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient-derived explant (PDE) at 10nM were demonstrated, emphasizing CAPTN-3’s potential advantage in a clinically-relevant biological assay. A dose-dependent effect of IM1240 was shown."
