-The new PD-L1/4-1BB bispecific antibody ATG-101 has shown anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of immune checkpoint inhibitor resistance or recurrence and can effectively avoid liver toxicity.
At the same time, it is further analyzed by quantitative system pharmacological model Supported the dose selection strategy for the drug
-Preclinical data of ERK1/2 inhibitor ATG-017 combination therapy supports future clinical development
Shanghai and Hong Kong November 15, 2021/PRNewswire/ - Deqi Pharmaceutical Co.
, Ltd.
(abbreviated as a leading innovative biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of the first and/or best-in-class blood and solid tumor therapies of its kind "Deqi Pharmaceutical", Hong Kong Stock Exchange stock code: 6996.
HK) announced today that the company announced experimental data from three studies in the form of a poster at the annual meeting of the Society for Tumor Immunotherapy (SITC) in Washington (https: //
.
Dr.
Mei Jianming, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Deqi Pharmaceuticals, said: “We are honored to have the opportunity to present two ATG-101 and ATGs from two phase I clinical studies during the SITC annual meeting on November 12, 2021.
-017 Pre-clinical data
.
The unique mechanism and good safety and anti-tumor activity of these two new drugs fully demonstrate the company's fruitful efforts in realizing the mission of developing the first and/or best-in-class drugs
Poster summary
Poster #893: ATG-101 is active in "cold" tumors and does not show hepatotoxicity in preclinical models
As a new PD-L1/4-1BB bispecific antibody, ATG-101 can simultaneously activate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and inhibit immune checkpoints, and avoid inducing liver toxicity
.
The data released by Deqi Pharmaceutical this time comes from a series of in vivo and in vitro studies.
The data presented in this poster shows that ATG-101 still maintains excellent efficacy in tumor models that are resistant to anti-PD-L1 drugs or relapse after treatment
.
In addition, ATG-101 enhances the activation of T cells and exhausted T cells under PD-L1 cross-linking conditions, and realizes the transformation of tumors from "cold" to "hot"
Poster #608: ATG-017 combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors shows synergistic effects in an in vivo model, and the data supports the clinical development of this combination therapy
ATG-017 is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor that acts on extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2)
.
The data released by Deqi Pharmaceutical this time comes from an in vivo study that evaluated the combination of ATG-017 and anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (atezizumab) in a small malignant tumor that is resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
The poster data showed that the combination therapy enhanced anti-tumor activity and brought about the percentage of tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the tumor microenvironment, as well as the ratio of CD8:CD4 T cells and the M1:M2 subtype of macrophages.
In order to realize the transformation of the tumor from “cold” to “hot”
.
This result proves that ATG-017 and immune checkpoint inhibitors have a potential synergistic effect, which provides the next step for the clinical research of the combination therapy for the treatment of a variety of solid tumors including solid tumors resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Poster #227: Calculation and analysis tools help the selection of dosage for ATG-101 clinical trials
The bispecific antibody ATG-101 can form a trimer (combined from ATG-101 with cells expressing PD-L1 and 4-1BB) to activate tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and suppress immune checkpoints
.
The measurement of trimeric complexes is essential to determine the best dosage for clinical studies, but this is difficult to accomplish in clinical trials
In the poster, Deqi Pharmaceutical and its partner Applied BioMath reported a development project of a computational semi-mechanical pharmacology model that can be used to determine the dosage of ATG-101 in clinical trials
.
The model simulates the inhibition of tumor growth in vivo to predict the formation of trimers, free drug levels, and receptor occupancy over time
These abstracts have been officially released on the SITC official website, and their details are as follows:

About ATG-101
ATG-101 is a new PD-L1/4-1BB bispecific antibody that is being developed for the treatment of metastatic/advanced solid tumors and B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (B-NHL)
.
ATG-101 can simultaneously block PD-L1/PD-1 binding and activate 4-1BB costimulatory signals, thereby activating anti-tumor immune effector cells
About ATG-017
ATG-017 is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor that acts on extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2)
.
ERK1/2 is a type of serine/threonine protein kinase, which acts as the terminal kinase of the RAS-MAPK signal transduction cascade
.
This cascade pathway regulates various cellular processes such as cell proliferation
.
The RAS-MAPK pathway dysregulation occurs in more than 30% of cancer patients, and the most common change is RAS or BRAF gene mutations in multiple tumor types
.
ERK inhibitors can target both RAS and BRAF mutant diseases
.
In non-clinical pharmacology studies, ATG-017 has shown strong inhibitory effects on ERK1/2 enzyme activity and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo
.
Currently, Deqi Pharmaceuticals is carrying out a phase I dose-climbing test of ATG-017 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and hematological malignancies in Australia
