Orphan Drug Designation for IMM-1-104 by FDA in the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
“The FDA’s granting of orphan drug designation for IMM-1-104 underscores the urgent need for new therapies that meaningfully improve outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients and represents an important milestone in the development of our lead asset,” said Ben Zeskind, Ph.D., Co-Founder and CEO of Immuneering. “I believe our recently announced positive initial Phase 2a data, from our arm investigating IMM-1-104 in combination with modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in pancreatic cancer, speaks to IMM-1-104’s potential to improve upon the current standard of care in this indication. Importantly, in the same trial we are also studying IMM-1-104 in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX, as well as in monotherapy for pancreatic cancer. We look forward to providing initial data from at least one additional arm of the Phase 2a portion of our Phase 1/2a trial before the end of the year.”
