Aptevo Therapeutics Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Aptevo Therapeutics (NASDAQ: APVO) has expanded its CD3-directed portfolio with APVO455, a new preclinical candidate targeting Nectin-4+ cancers. The company now has three CD3-engaging molecules sharing the CRIS-7 derived binding domain: mipletamig (CD123 x CD3) in Phase 1b/2 for AML with 85% remission rate, APVO442 (PSMA x CD3) for prostate cancer in preclinical development, and APVO455 (Nectin-4 x CD3) for multiple solid tumors. The CRIS-7 platform has demonstrated strong clinical validation through mipletamig's performance, where over 100 patients across three trials showed no cytokine release syndrome in initial cohorts. This expansion represents Aptevo's strategic move from hematologic to solid tumors, with a focus on developing therapeutics that combine tumor-specific immune activation with limited systemic toxicity.

Aptevo Therapeutics (NASDAQ:APVO) reported promising clinical data from its Phase 1b/2 RAINIER trial evaluating mipletamig, a CD123 x CD3 bispecific antibody, combined with venetoclax and azacitidine for frontline AML patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy. The triplet therapy achieved an impressive 85% remission rate across two trials, significantly outperforming competitor studies. Notable safety outcomes include no cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in cohorts 1 and 2. Three patients with poor prognosis achieved complete remission, with one successfully proceeding to transplant. The trial's Cohort 3 is nearing full enrollment at the highest dose level. Mipletamig's unique CRIS-7 binding domain engineering strategy demonstrates potential in mitigating cytokine-related toxicity while maintaining anti-cancer activity.
