BostonGene session details are as follows:

Abstract: 1115P
Title: Multiomics clustering of patients with cutaneous melanoma to reveal survival trends based on tumor immune evasion features
Date: Saturday, September 14, 2024

Multiomic analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data related to immune escape in a cutaneous melanoma cohort revealed five distinct tumor-immune microenvironment (TiME) types that influence patient survival.

Abstract: 1773P
Title: Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of chondrosarcomas to explore new potential treatment options
Date: Saturday, September 14, 2024

Comprehensive profiling of a chondrosarcoma (CS) cohort identified potential biomarkers and drug targets. Tumor microenvironment analysis revealed a high prevalence of non-immune-enriched subtypes, suggesting that non­immunotherapeutic treatment options may be more appropriate.

Research conducted in collaboration with Sarcoma Oncology Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Sarah Cannon Research Institute

Abstract: 1777P
Title: Molecular profiling from next-generation sequencing (NGS) reveals new potential therapeutic targets in patients with pediatric-type sarcomas
Date: Saturday, September 14, 2024

Comprehensive molecular profiling revealed targetable events that could benefit older patients with pediatric-type fusion-driven sarcoma by expanding potential therapeutic options and allowing for inclusion in biomarker-driven trials without strict age limits.

Research conducted in collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, and Sarcoma Oncology Research Center

First patient dosed with CDR404
The first patient was dosed with CDR404, a novel, bispecific and bivalent antibody fragment-based T cell engager (TCE) targeting MAGE-A4, an intracellular cancer-specific protein that is cleaved into smaller peptide fragments and presented on HLA-A*02:01 molecules at the surface of cancer cells.

The Phase 1 study (NCT06402201) is enrolling HLA-A *02:01+ patients with MAGE-A4+ solid cancers in the U.S. and Europe. The trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of CDR404 in several common cancers including squamous cell carcinomas in which MAGE-A4 is highly enriched.

New clinical candidate targeting PRAME
Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma (PRAME) is a tumor-specific therapeutic target that is expressed in a wide range of solid tumors including lung, ovarian, melanoma, and endometrial cancers, while exhibiting only minimal expression in healthy tissues.

CDR-Life has identified and characterized an antibody fragment-based TCE as a clinical candidate targeting PRAME called CDR813. This TCE binds potently and bivalently to an HLA-A*02-restricted PRAME peptide on the surface of cancer cells. Pre-clinical studies have shown that CDR813 has very favorable pharmacological and manufacturability properties with best-in-class potential for the clinic.

A poster will be presented at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Congress, in Barcelona, Spain.

Poster Presentation Details
Title: Highly potent and specific bivalent T cell engager (TCE) targeting PRAME on HLA-A*02:01
Date and Time: Saturday, September 14, 2024, 12 – 1 pm CET
Abstract Number: 5132, Poster 1020P

"The clinical advancement of CDR404 and the excellent progress we have made in advancing CDR813 into a clinically viable drug are significant milestones in our quest to develop life-changing, antibody fragment-based cancer medicines for patients with the HLA-A*02:01 genotype, the most prevalent HLA genotype in the U.S. and Europe, using our proprietary M-gager technology," said Swethajit Biswas, Chief Medical Officer of CDR-Life. "This current suite of T cell engagers targeting cancer-specific peptides presented on HLA underscores our ambitions in solid tumor oncology to create an innovative pipeline of highly specific and potent antibody fragment-based molecules targeting a wide range of cancer-specific antigens including challenging cell surface resident proteins, which are known to be directly involved in tumor growth."

On September 13, 2024 Immunome, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMNM), a biotechnology company focused on developing first-in-class and best-in-class targeted cancer therapies, reported that it will present a poster with updated results from the RINGSIDE Phase 2 clinical trial of AL102 for the treatment of desmoid tumors at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Congress, being held in Barcelona from 13-17 September 2024 (Press release, Immunome, SEP 13, 2024, View Source [SID1234646599]).

This partnership seeks to improve the low rate of patient enrollment in oncology clinical trials, which sees only about 8% of eligible patients participating in clinical trials1. As potential new therapies increasingly address rare cancers, approximately 80% of clinical studies globally fail to enroll enough patients with a biopharmaceutical company’s desired timeline, according to a 2020 report published in Perspectives in Clinical Research2. The cornerstone of this partnership lies in integrated solutions that enhance service delivery for both Massive Bio’s and Foundation Medicine’s customers through shared data and AI analytics focused on patient matching.

"The application of real-time AI and our comprehensive data significantly boosts the speed and accuracy of clinical trial matching," said Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, MD MSEd, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Massive Bio. "This capability allows us to provide individualized treatments more quickly and accurately, enhancing patient outcomes across the globe. Joining forces with Foundation Medicine is pivotal as it will allow us to develop solutions to the cancer clinical trial enrollment paradox."

Massive Bio is building the largest global oncology/hematology network to transform patient recruitment at scale with more than 132,000 patients, 5,000 physicians, 40 pharma and CRO customers and 50 partners. Massive Bio’s real-time, AI-driven platform, Synergy-AI, can analyze and summarize extensive medical records, including biomarker data from multiple sources, to match patients with over 16,000 clinical trials instantly. Massive Bio’s predictive analytics maximizes trial enrollment potential and significantly reduces screen failures.

Through this partnership, Massive Bio and Foundation Medicine hope to increase clinical trial enrollment with their extensive networks and capabilities across the healthcare landscape, employing advanced AI techniques and a robust digital health platform to refine clinical trial processes and enhance precision oncology.

"Beyond providing high quality genomic profiling to support informed decision making, Foundation Medicine is committed to empowering practitioners to act on those decisions by identifying personalized treatment options including clinical trials," said Heather Jorajuria, Senior Vice President, Clinical & Scientific Operations at Foundation Medicine. "Through this partnership with Massive Bio, we have the patient at the forefront, leveraging our combined assets and expertise to improve access to clinical trials for patients."
