Dragonfly Announces Clinical Collaboration Exploring Combinations of DF1001 HER-2 TriNKET® with Trodelvy® in two Cancer Indications
“DF1001 is the first of eight Dragonfly-developed drugs in the clinic and has shown clinical benefit in mBC, NSCLC and colorectal cancer (CRC) in a heterogeneous Phase 1 population with 22% RECIST responders and 39% clinical benefit in mBC patients at active dose levels, with no DLTs, even in a heavily-pre-treated population,” said Joseph Eid, Dragonfly President of R&D. “It has been demonstrated to be well tolerated across all dose levels in the Phase 1 study as monotherapy, and pharmacodynamic activity was demonstrated in 28/42 (67%) paired biopsies from 0.5-15mg/kg, where increase in CD8 and NK cell infiltration was observed consistent with preclinical models and supporting the TriNKET immune modulating MoA. Our preclinical work has shown the powerful combinatorial effect of TriNKETs with ADCs, and highlighted the potential benefits to patients of using Gilead’s Trodelvy in combination with DF1001.”
