On April 9, 2018 OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:OMED), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics, reported that five posters will be presented at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) (Free AACR Whitepaper) Annual Meeting to be held April 14-18, 2018, in Chicago (Press release, OncoMed, APR 9, 2018, View Source [SID1234525233]). Among the presentations will be preclinical data for OncoMed’s novel anti-TIGIT (OMP-313M32) immuno-oncology program, which is currently in a Phase 1a single-agent clinical study. Preclinical data for OncoMed’s differentiated clinical-stage GITRL-Fc (OMP-336B11) program will also be featured. In addition, preclinical immuno-oncology data for OncoMed’s Wnt antagonist vantictumab (anti-FZD, OMP-18R5) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors will be presented.
