Coherus BioSciences announced preliminary Phase 1 results for CHS-114, an anti-CCR8 antibody, at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting. CHS-114 exhibited an acceptable safety profile with no dose-limiting toxicities in heavily pretreated patients with solid tumors. Selective depletion of CCR8+ Tregs was maintained, establishing proof of mechanism. One patient experienced Grade 2 colitis as a serious adverse event. Pharmacokinetic data showed dose proportional exposure and a linear elimination half-life of about 10 days. The results support further evaluation of CHS-114 in combination with toripalimab and other immuno-oncology agents. No objective responses were noted, but a stable disease rate of 47% was observed in 19 evaluable patients.
