Immutep Reaches Enrolment Target for INSIGHT-003 Trial in 1st Line NSCLC

On February 6, 2023 Immutep Limited (ASX: IMM; NASDAQ: IMMP) ("Immutep" or "the Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel LAG-3 immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases, reported the investigator-initiated INSIGHT-003 trial has reached its enrolment target of 20 patients with 1L NSCLC (Press release, Immutep, FEB 6, 2023, View Source [SID1234626839]). INSIGHT-003 is the first trial evaluating Immutep’s lead product candidate, eftilagimod alpha ("efti" or "IMP321") as part of a triple combination therapy with standard-of-care anti-PD-1 therapy and chemotherapy.

Immutep’s CSO & CMO Dr Frederic Triebel said, "The promising initial efficacy and favourable safety results reported in November 2022 from this first triple combination approach instils more confidence in the flexibility of our novel immunotherapy, efti to be combined with various therapeutics and safely drive superior patient outcomes. We are pleased to have reached our enrolment target and look forward to reporting as the results mature further. Additional data from INSIGHT-003 will help further inform our next steps in 1 st line NSCLC."

In a poster presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) Annual Meeting 2022, initial results in 1L NSCLC patients show the triple combination therapy is well-tolerated and provides promising early signals of therapeutic activity with an Objective Response Rate (ORR) of 72.7% (8/11) and a Disease Control Rate (DCR) of 90.9% (10/11). Nine patients had a PD-L1 Tumour Proportion Score (TPS) of <50% and this group reported an encouraging ORR of 66.7% and DCR of 88.9%. Patients with a PD-L1 of <50% represent approximately two-thirds of the 1L NSCLC patient population and are less responsive to anti-PD-1 therapy compared to patients with a PD-L1 TPS of ≥50%.

Additional data from INSIGHT-003 is expected to be presented throughout calendar year 2023. For more information on the study, please see the poster titled ‘Feasibility of eftilagimod alpha (soluble LAG-3 protein) combined with standard-of-care-therapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Initial results from INSIGHT 003’ in the Posters & Publications section of Immutep’s website.

About INSIGHT-003

INSIGHT-003 is an investigator-initiated study conducted by the Institute of Clinical Cancer Research IKF at Krankenhaus Nordwest in Frankfurt. It is being run as the third arm (Stratum C) of the ongoing Phase I INSIGHT trial with Prof. Dr. Salah-Eddin Al-Batran as lead investigator. The study is evaluating a triple combination therapy in front line non-small cell lung cancer patients consisting of efti administered subcutaneously in conjunction with an existing approved standard-of-care combination of anti-PD-1 therapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) delivered intravenously. The trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and initial efficacy of the combination.

RS Research’s platform technology allows designing targeted drug candidates for different indications, which yields into development of the company’s own portfolio consisting of 5 drug candidates, as well as an important co-development potential. The nanocarriers introduce a versatile targeting capability and are suitable for loading a single or a combination of chemotherapeutic agents, with superior pharmacokinetic profiles while the targeting enables the drugs to accumulate in the tumor ensuring an enhanced therapeutic index and thus offering reduced toxicity profile.

RS-0139 is the lead candidate in Phase I clinical trial, aiming to deliver docetaxel specifically into integrin receptor expressing tumors such as NSCLC, breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic as well as head & neck carcinoma. RS Research Co-Founder and CSO Prof. Dr. Rana Sanyal and Medical Director Gülşah Nomak, MD will present the candidates’ promising preclinical data at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) TAT 2023

Poster Title: RS-0139, a novel tumor-targeted delivery of docetaxel, with potent anti-tumor activity in a broad spectrum of tumor cell lines and xenograft models

Date: 6 March 2023

Location: Hall Bordeaux

RS Research

RS Research was founded by Prof. Rana Sanyal and Sena Nomak to take the necessary steps for bringing innovative therapies to patients, carrying out the research to clinic based on the proprietary drug delivery platforms SagittaTM Bir and SagittaTM Dui, patents covering 58 countries. Thanks to this technology, RS Research can increase effectiveness of chemotherapy and reduce side effects. The nanomedicine taken into the cell thanks to the targeting module that recognizes the receptors on the tumor surface, releases the active substance here, showing its full effect only to the tumor. The nanomedicine is released only when it is in the tumor after the targeting moiety recognizes the cell surface receptors. RS Research raised 2 million Euros seed funding in 2017, followed by a 12 million USD Series-A investment round in 2021. The company developed 5 drug candidates designed based on SagittaTM platform technology addressing multiple indications in its pipeline. RS-0139’s ongoing Phase I clinical trial has advanced to the next dose level following the positive review of the safety data by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). Further details regarding the clinical trial are available at clinicaltrials.gov with the trial identifier NCT04261413. RS Research is manufacturing its clinical research products at its own GMP-licensed production facility with both synthesis and filling capability drugs.
