Billy Boyle, co-founder and CEO at Owlstone Medical, said: “Results from Phase 1 of the EVOLUTION trial demonstrated the relevance of the molecular pathway targeted by D5-EthGlu and provided crucial evidence to support further test development. With the recruitment of the first patient into Phase 2, we are excited to continue to progress a test that has the potential to transform lung cancer diagnosis by substantially increasing the uptake of testing, leading to more cases of lung cancer being caught early and significantly reducing mortality and costs. Our nodule management test also holds the potential for more effective identification of benign nodules, reducing unnecessary biopsies and surgery.”

The data were presented in a late breaking oral session during the Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting 2023. JK07 is the first investigational antibody fusion protein and first selective ErbB4 agonist to enter clinical development for heart failure. Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with estimates of more than 6 million patients affected by HFrEF and HFpEF in the US.

The title of the presentation is: Neoadjuvant LTX-315 in combination with pembrolizumab in resectable stage III/IV melanoma (NeoLIPA trial): Protocol for a single center phase II open label study.
