Nantes, France - March 9, 2022 - 7:30AM CET – OSE Immunotherapeutics (ISIN: FR0012127173; Mnemo: OSE), today announced that early biomarker analyses from the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial with SIRPα inhibitor BI 765063 in patients with advanced solid tumors have been selected for presentation (1) in an in-person poster session at the American Association Cancer for Research (AACR) annual meeting to be held on April 8 – 13, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The goal of the biomarker analyses from the Phase 1 trial with first-in-class SIRPα inhibitor BI 765063 was to characterize the impact of the product on peripheral blood immune cells (PBMCs), as well as on the tumor microenvironment.
The early biomarker analyses of paired tumor biopsies from patients with a wide range of solid tumors and treated with BI 765063 show encouraging signs of mode-of-action related changes, both in peripheral blood and in the tumor, in particular an increase in CD8 T-cell infiltration and activation.
These new data confirm preclinical results showing that T lymphocytes initially blocked at the tumor's margin could penetrate efficiently into the tumor when blocking SIRPα in parallel. Crossing this barrier is associated with positive modulation of macrophage expression and secretion of chemokines allowing the penetration of T lymphocytes into the heart of the tumor.
The Phase 1 clinical trial with BI 765063 is being conducted by OSE Immunotherapeutics as part of a collaboration and license agreement under which Boehringer Ingelheim obtained exclusive rights to BI 765063.
(1) Title: Biomarker analyses from the Phase I clinical trial of the first-in-class SIRPa immune checkpoint inhibitor BI765063 in patients with advanced solid tumors
Session Category: Clinical Research Excluding Trials Session Title: Inflammation / Modifiers of the Tumor Microenvironment Session Date and Time: Monday Apr 11, 2022, 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM Location: New Orleans Convention Center, Exhibit Halls D-H, Poster Section 32 Poster Board Number: 5
BI 765063, a monoclonal antibody antagonist of the key myeloid cell checkpoint inhibitor SIRPα selectively blocks the SIRPα/CD47 interaction and thus increases the function of myeloid cells: phagocytosis of tumor cells by
macrophages and presentation of tumor antigens by dendritic cells. BI 765063 is also a selective inhibitor of SIRPα that by virtue of this specificity and lack of binding and blocking of a very similar receptor called SIRPɣ, ensures that response of T lymphocytes is retained to enable T cell-mediated tumor killing.
OSE Immunotherapeutics is an integrated biotechnology company focused on developing and partnering therapies to control the immune system for immuno-oncology and autoimmune diseases. Its balanced first-in-class clinical and preclinical portfolio has a diversified risk profile:
