Ampersand Biomedicines Presents Preclinical Data on AMP-410, a Novel Anti-VEGF/4-1BB Bifunctional AND-Body Therapeutic, at AACR 2025 (GlobeNewswire) - "Ampersand Biomedicines...announced preclinical data for one of its lead development candidates, AMP-410, a novel potential first-in-class bifunctional anti-VEGF/4-1BB AND-Body therapeutic....AMP-410 was evaluated in multiple preclinical models of hard-to-treat cancers, including melanoma, colorectal, and lung cancer. Findings show that AMP-410 induced more durable anti-tumor immunity compared to four other classes of clinical immunotherapies. Notably, AMP-410 showed initial promising monotherapy efficacy compared to an anti-VEGF/PD-1 bispecific antibody in a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) model, demonstrating its potential to treat tumors resistant to checkpoint inhibitors. AMP-410 monotherapy achieved 90% tumor-free survival in colorectal cancer and extended survival in melanoma models; when combined with anti-PD-1, it drove 100% tumor-free survival in colorectal cancer and further extended survival in melanoma."
