Elicio Therapeutics (ELTX) has received supportive FDA feedback regarding the registrational strategy for its cancer immunotherapy candidate ELI-002. The FDA alignment covers key elements of the potential Phase 3 study design, including dose, schedule, patient population (KRAS-mutated pancreatic adenocarcinoma), and primary endpoint analysis of disease-free survival.
The company's Phase 2 randomized study of ELI-002 is fully enrolled, with a formal interim analysis of disease-free survival expected in H1 2025. Positive results could support rapid advancement into Phase 3 development. The therapy has shown encouraging clinical results with a favorable safety profile and strong correlation between T cell response, tumor biomarker reductions, and reduced risk of recurrence or death.
ELI-002 is being developed as an off-the-shelf monotherapy for patients who completed chemotherapy but remain at elevated risk of disease recurrence.
Elicio Therapeutics (ELTX) presented updated Phase 1 AMPLIFY-201 trial results for ELI-002, their cancer vaccine targeting KRAS-mutant tumors. With 19.7 months median follow-up, the study showed 16.3-month median recurrence-free survival (mRFS) and 28.9-month median overall survival (mOS) in the full study population of 25 patients with colorectal or pancreatic cancer.
The trial demonstrated strong correlation between T cell response and survival outcomes. Patients with above-median T cell responses hadn't reached mRFS, while those below median achieved 4.0-month mRFS. The vaccine showed favorable safety profile with no Grade 3/4 adverse events. ELI-002's seven-peptide formulation is currently in Phase 2 trials, with interim analysis expected in H1 2025.
Elicio Therapeutics has completed enrollment for its Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P study, evaluating ELI-002 7P in patients with mKRAS-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The randomized trial enrolled 135 patients, exceeding enrollment speed expectations. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive ELI-002 7P versus standard care observation, with crossover allowed upon disease progression. The study's primary endpoint is disease-free survival (DFS), with a formal interim analysis expected in H1 2025. The trial follows successful Phase 1a results that showed favorable safety profiles and robust T-cell responses.
Elicio Therapeutics (ELTX) reported Q3 2024 financial results and corporate updates. The company expects to complete enrollment in its AMPLIFY-7P Phase 2 randomized study in Q4 2024, with interim analysis expected in H1 2025. Q3 financial results showed R&D expenses of $7.2 million and G&A expenses of $3.1 million. Net loss was $18.8 million, with cash position of $26.0 million as of September 30, 2024. The company strengthened its financial position through an $11.5 million public offering and $20 million private placement of convertible notes, expecting to support operations into Q2 2025.
Elicio Therapeutics presented updated preliminary results from the AMPLIFY-7P Phase 1 clinical trial of ELI-002, an Amphiphile cancer vaccine targeting KRAS-mutant tumors. Key findings show mKRAS-specific T cell responses in all evaluable patients, with the 4.9 mg dose group showing 12-fold higher response than the 1.4 mg group. The magnitude of T cell response correlated with disease-free survival (DFS). T cell responses were durable up to 1.5 years, with antigen spreading detected in 100% of RP2D-treated patients. The vaccine remains safe and well-tolerated, with Phase 2 interim DFS analysis expected in H1 2025.
