ALX Oncology (Nasdaq: ALXO) has announced the dosing of first patients in a randomized Phase 1/2 UMBRELLA study, evaluating evorpacept in combination with Sanofi's SARCLISA® (isatuximab-irfc) for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Evorpacept is ALX Oncology's investigational CD47-blocking therapeutic, while SARCLISA is Sanofi's approved CD38 monoclonal antibody.
The study aims to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and biomarker data of this combination. Part 1 will evaluate dosing, while Part 2 will investigate efficacy and safety in an expanded RRMM patient population. This collaboration leverages the potential synergy between evorpacept and SARCLISA, as CD47 expression increases with multiple myeloma progression, potentially re-sensitizing tumors to CD38 treatment.
