I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) hat auf der Weltkonferenz über Lungenkrebs 2024 positive pharmakokinetische Daten zu uliledlimab, einem auf CD73 zielenden Antikörper, präsentiert. Die Daten stammen aus drei Phase-1-Studien und unterstützen Dosierungsstrategien für bevorstehende klinische Studien. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse umfassen:

- 95 % der simulierten Bevölkerung erreichten die Zielschwelle mit 30 mg/kg uliledlimab
- Positive Korrelation zwischen der Konzentration von uliledlimab und der Gesamtansprechrate bei mNSCLC-Patienten
- CD73-Rezeptorbesetzung in peripheren B-Zellen wurde bei 90 % oder mehr erreicht und gehalten
- Die Dosis von 30 mg/kg mit einem einzigen Boost am C1D8 hielt eine Zielkonzentration von 80 μg/mL aufrecht.

Eine randomisierte Phase-2-Studie zu uliledlimab in Kombination mit Pembrolizumab und Chemotherapie wird voraussichtlich im 1. Halbjahr 2025 beginnen.

Positive
  • Positive correlation between uliledlimab concentration and overall response rate probability in mNSCLC patients
  • 95% of simulated population achieved target threshold with 30 mg/kg dose
  • CD73 receptor occupancy in peripheral B cells reached and maintained at 90% or above
  • 30 mg/kg dose with single boost maintained target concentration of 80 μg/mL
  • Planned Phase 2 study combining uliledlimab with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in 1H 2025

Insights

The PK/PD modeling data for uliledlimab presented at WCLC 2024 provides valuable insights into its potential as a CD73 inhibitor for mNSCLC treatment. Key findings include:

  • 95% of the simulated population achieved target threshold with 30 mg/kg dose
  • Positive correlation between uliledlimab concentration and ORR probability
  • CD73 receptor occupancy in B cells maintained at >90%
  • 80 μg/mL Ctrough target threshold associated with PFS benefit

These results support the dosing strategy for upcoming clinical trials and suggest uliledlimab's potential efficacy in combination with immunotherapy. However, it's important to note that Phase 2 trials are yet to begin and real-world efficacy remains to be established.

The data presented for uliledlimab is promising for mNSCLC treatment. By targeting CD73, it aims to reduce adenosine-driven immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. This approach could potentially enhance the efficacy of existing immunotherapies like pembrolizumab. The positive exposure-response relationship and high receptor occupancy are encouraging. However, it's important to remember that PK/PD data, while informative, doesn't guarantee clinical success. The upcoming randomized Phase 2 study combining uliledlimab with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy will be important in determining its real-world efficacy and safety profile in mNSCLC patients.

For I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB), this data represents a positive step in their clinical pipeline. The PK/PD results support advancing uliledlimab to Phase 2 trials, potentially accelerating the drug's development timeline. However, investors should note that the next major catalyst - the Phase 2 study initiation - is not expected until 1H 2025. This timeline suggests a long runway before potential commercialization. While the data is encouraging, it's important to consider that many promising cancer drugs fail in later-stage trials. I-Mab's financial position and ability to fund ongoing research will be important factors to monitor in the interim.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) (the "Company"), a U.S.-based, global biotech company exclusively focused on the development of highly differentiated immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, today announced a poster presentation of PK/PD modeling data for uliledlimab at the International Association for the Study of Lung Disease (IASLD)'s 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC 2024) held September 7-10, 2024 in San Diego, CA.

Uliledlimab (TJ004309) is an antibody designed to target CD73, the rate-limiting enzyme critical for adenosine-driven immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Blocking CD73 allows anti-tumor immunity to proceed without the presence of an adenosine-induced "immunological fog". The WCLC 2024 presentation includes data from uliledlimab PK/PD analyses from three Phase 1 studies including patients with treatment naïve metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC).

"The PK/PD analysis presented at WCLC underscores our view that uliledlimab has the potential to be a differentiated, best-in-class, CD73 inhibitor. The data support our dose selection work and upcoming combination studies, with a study of uliledlimab plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy expected to begin in the first half of 2025," said Phillip Dennis, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of I-Mab. "We are particularly encouraged by the E-R analysis, which showed a positive relationship between uliledlimab exposure and the probability of an overall response in patients with NSCLC, as well as positive target engagement data and dose proportional PK results.  These data, plus a previously presented favorable safety profile and clinical efficacy, fortify our view that uliledlimab has the potential to meaningfully improve the care of patients with mNSCLC."

Poster Title: Integrated PK/PD Modeling for Uliledlimab, an Anti-CD73 Monoclonal
Antibody, in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients (Poster #2979)

Data are based on analysis of three Phase 1 studies conducted in China evaluating uliledlimab, as a monotherapy and in combination studies with the checkpoint inhibitors, toripalimab or atezolizumab, in patients with advanced cancers, including mNSCLC.

Key Findings Include:

  • Most of the simulated population (95%) could achieve the target threshold with 30 mg/kg of uliledlimab
  • Integrated PK/PD modeling and pharmacometrics analyses indicate there is a positive relationship between the probability of overall response and uliledlimab trough concentration in NSCLC patients
  • CD73 receptor occupancy (RO) in peripheral B cells achieved 90% or above and maintained at high levels until the end of treatment
  • The 30 mg/kg dose with a single boost dose on C1D8 provided uliledlimab concentrations that achieved the target concentration of 80 μg/mL immediately after the first dose and maintained this threshold afterward
  • A Ctrough target threshold of 80 μg/mL may be clinically meaningful, associated with PFS benefit and is achievable by a 30 mg/kg initial dose followed by a booster dose on Cycle 1, Day 8 (C1D8)
