Innovent Updates Phase 1b Data of IBI939 (Anti-TIGIT Monoclonal Antibody) Combined with Sintilimab in Previously Untreated PD-L1-selected NSCLC at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting

Innovent Biologics, Inc. (“Innovent”) (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, autoimmune, metabolic, ophthalmology and other major diseases, updated the Phase 1b efficacy and safety results of IBI939 (anti-TIGIT antibody) combined with sintilimab (anti-PD-1 antibody) in previously untreated PD-L1-selected NSCLC without sensitizing mutations at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

Efficacy and safety of IBI939 in combination with sintilimab in patients with previously untreated locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PD-L1-selected NSCLC: updated results in a Phase 1b study

Abstract#: e14578

IBI939 is an IgG4κ recombinant fully human anti-T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) monoclonal antibody developed by Innovent Biologics.

This Phase 1b study aimed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of combination therapy of IBI939 with sintilimab in patients with previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PD-L1 TPS≥50% NSCLC without sensitizing mutations(ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04672369). As of January 1st, 2023, 42 pts were randomized (2:1) to receive IBI939 plus sintilimab (experimental arm, n=28) or sintilimab monotherapy (control arm, n=14). The study results were as follows:

  • With median progression free survival (PFS) follow-up of 12.2 months in the experimental arm and 11.3 months in the control arm, respectively, median PFS per investigator was 13.2 months (95%CI: 6.7-16.5) and 6.4 months (95%CI: 1.4-NA), and the hazard ratio (HR) between two arms was 0.62;
  • 96.4% patients in the experimental arm and 71.4% patients in the control arm experienced treatment-related adverse event (TRAE). Each arm occurred one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) leading to end of treatment. No TEAE leading to death occurred in the experimental arm.

Results from this updated analysis after longer follow-up demonstrated that IBI939 plus sintilimab combination therapy had continued efficacy and manageable safety profile in previously untreated PD-L1 TPS50% NSCLC without sensitizing mutations.

Professor Ying Cheng, Jilin Cancer Hospital, stated: “In recent years, we are exploring novel treatment strategies to further improve survival benefit in first-line PD-L1 TPS ≥50% NSCLC patients. We are pleased to see that anti-PD-(L)1 antibody plus anti-TIGIT antibody in this patient population has indicated preliminary efficacy in several early phase studies[1],[2]. With promising efficacy confirmed in first analysis[3], IBI939 plus sintilimab continues to show clinical benefits with longer follow-up. We are looking forward to the clinical benefit of this combination immunotherapy in clinical trial with larger sample size.”

Dr. Hui Zhou, Senior Vice President of Innovent, stated: “We are pleased to present updated Phase 1b clinical results of IBI939 at the 2023 ASCO Meeting. IBI939, in combination with sintilimab, demonstrated promising and sustained efficacy and manageable safety profile. We are encouraged by the potential clinical benefit of IBI939 may provide, and will continue to advance the clinical development with the aim to develop and commercialize high-quality biopharmaceuticals that are affordable to ordinary people.”

About IBI939

IBI939 is an IgG4κ recombinant human anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody developed by Innovent Biologics. Targeting TIGIT on T cells and NK cell membranes in the tumor microenvironment, IBI939 can prevent the binding of CD155 overexpressed on the cancer cell membrane to TIGIT, thereby restoring the activation of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, and exerting tumor killing effects1. Besides, TIGIT and PD-1 are both immunosuppressive checkpoint receptors. Dual blockage of TIGIT and PD-1 can synergistically promote immune cells to kill tumors and enhance anti-tumor immune response2.

Ariceum Therapeutics’ Targeted Radiopharmaceutical 177Lu-satoreotide Exhibits Promising Clinical Response and Good Tolerability Profile in Patients with Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumours

Satoreotide combines Ariceum’s proprietary peptide satoreotide - a first-in-class and best-in-class antagonist of the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) - with the radioactive isotope ‘payload’ 177Lutetium. SSTR2 is a cell surface protein often overexpressed in certain cancers, including NETs and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

New Hot Start Isothermal Mixes Boost Sensitivity, Specificity, and Speed of DNA Target Detection

Isothermal mixes are important in a range of isothermal amplification applications, including whole genome amplification, point-of-care assay development and testing, and strand displacement amplification for synthetic biology. However, a common issue with isothermal mixes is non-specific amplification — where primers bind to unintended DNA targets — because amplification often takes place at a fixed temperature which may favour non-specific primer interactions, contrary to PCR. Isothermal mixes can also lead to primer dimer formation, where primers associate with each other and are extended by the polymerase.
