Initial results from a phase I/II study of BT7480, a novel nectin-4/CD137 bicycle tumor-targeted immune cell agonist, in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors (ESMO 2024) - P1/2 | "This phase 1/2 study (NCT05163041) will evaluate BT7480 ± nivolumab in pts with cancer. BT7480 was well tolerated and showed antitumor activity in pts with advanced Nectin-4–associated solid tumors. Biomarker analyses suggest BT7480 dual targeting of CD137 and Nectin-4 enhanced immune activation; PD activity was consistent with the BT7480 mechanism of action."

Bicycle Therapeutics Provides Data Updates for Three Clinical Programs and Strategy Overview at First R&D Day (Businesswire) - P1/2 | N=200 | NCT05163041 | Sponsor: BicycleTx Limited | "In 33 patients assigned to receive one of 9 different doses of BT7480, an emerging differentiated safety and tolerability profile with a low number of severe adverse events. The majority of the patients studied had tumors that expressed Nectin-4 and CD137. Two unconfirmed partial responses in heavily pre-treated patients with cervical cancer. Three prolonged stable disease (≥7 months) in NSCLC and anal cancer. Bicycle Therapeutics will continue to define the recommended Phase 2 dose (or maximum dose) and dose range for BT7480, with a view to enroll combination cohorts with checkpoint inhibitors in 2024. These data will inform the design of a Phase 2 trial that could support potential accelerated approval of BT7480."

Bicycle Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update (Businesswire) - "Research and development expenses were $39.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in expense of $19.9 million was primarily due to increased clinical program expenses for BT8009, BT7480 development expenses, and other discovery and platform related expenses, as well as increased personnel-related expenses, including incremental non-cash share-based compensation expense of $1.3 million, offset by incremental UK research and development incentives."

Transcriptional profiling of Bicycle tumor-targeted CD137 agonist-treated mouse tumors revealed an early and rapid activation of myeloid cells followed by infiltration of cytotoxic T cells into the tumor (SITC 2022) - "Conclusions Altogether, these data highlight that CD137 Bicycle ® TICAs like BT7480 and BT7455 impact immune cell populations beyond T cells. This suggests that abundant T cell infiltrates may not be required for Bicycle ® CD137 agonists to initiate tumor rejection, which broadens the patient population that may benefit from CD137 Bicycle TICA™ treatment to also include myeloid-rich tumors with lower T cell infiltration (“colder” tumors)."

Discovery and Optimization of a Synthetic Class of Nectin-4-Targeted CD137 Agonists for Immuno-oncology. (PubMed, J Med Chem) - "This effort resulted in the discovery of BT7480, which elicited robust CD137 agonism and maximum antitumor activity in syngeneic mouse models. A tumor-targeted approach to CD137 agonism using low-molecular-weight, short-acting molecules with high tumor penetration is a yet unexplored path in the clinic, where emerging data suggest that persistent target engagement, characteristic of biologics, may lead to suboptimal immune response."
