Development plans of NY-500, an AI-Optimized PD-1 x VEGF Bifunctional Antibody, announced in multiple oncology indications
“We are excited to add a novel, AI-optimized PD-1 x VEGF therapeutic candidate to our pipeline of best-in-class bifunctional antibodies,” commented NAYA Biosciences President Dr. Daniel Teper. “NAYA’s bifunctional format has demonstrated the ability for synergistic dual-targeting activity, resulting in the potential to unlock clinical response in solid tumors. NY-500, our PD-1 x VEGF antibody, will target hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other solid tumors with high unmet medical needs. Recent clinical data with ivonescimab, the most advanced PD-1 x VEGF antibody, has shown superiority in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to Keytruda®, the leading first-line immunotherapy standard-of-care in multiple solid tumors, paving the way for a new generation of PD-(L)1 therapeutic candidates.”

“Beyond the second-line monotherapy opportunity, we and our partners at Pfizer have removed plans for a Phase 3 first-line combination trial with atirmociclib, as well as the planned Phase 3 second-line combination trial with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, from our joint development plan,” continued Dr. Houston. “This decision was made following
“The interim PFS analysis results demonstrated that, compared to the current standard treatment, KN026 in combination with chemotherapy significantly improved PFS, reduced the risk of disease progression or death, and showed a trend toward OS benefit. Detailed data from this study will be presented at an upcoming international academic conference.”
