FDA Clearance to Proceed with Ph 1b/2 Trial of ADG126 SAFEbody® in Combination with Pembrolizumab Announced
“The FDA clearance of this trial represents a major step forward in our wholly-owned CTLA-4 program. It builds on a strong safety profile for ADG126 SAFEbody and its parental antibody ADG116, respectively, as a single agent and the ability to achieve doses that may unlock the full potential of CTLA-4 as a proven target for strong ADCC-mediated Treg depletion in the TME. Our goal is to establish the CTLA-4 pathway as the cornerstone of cancer treatment in both single-agent and combination regimens,” said Peter Luo, Ph.D., Co-founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Adagene. “We are excited to initiate our clinical trial evaluating combination therapy with ADG126, which leverages SAFEbody precision masking technology to address toxicity limitations. This multi-regional trial of ADG126 with pembrolizumab also reflects our commitment to bringing highly differentiated therapies to cancer patients globally.”
