The study indicates that patients with TP53 mutations benefit from flotetuzumab, especially those with primary induction failure (PIF) or early relapse (ER). MacroGenics plans to enroll up to 200 patients in a pivotal study, with interim results expected at an upcoming medical conference, further supporting its development strategy in this challenging patient population.

MacroGenics (MGNX) has published a manuscript in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, detailing the preclinical development of MGC018, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting B7-H3 for solid tumors. The ADC shows promising antitumor activity and a favorable safety profile in preclinical models of various cancers. A Phase 1 dose expansion trial for MGC018 is currently recruiting patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. The company aims to provide updates on the study next year.
