- IPH45 is a novel and differentiated exatecan-Antibody Drug
Conjugate targeting Nectin-4
- In PDX models of urothelial tumors, IPH45 has stronger
activity than approved Nectin-4 targeting EV. IPH45 shows
anti-tumor efficacy in various solid tumor and EV-refractory
models
- Preclinical efficacy and toxicology data support further
development of IPH45 which is progressing towards the clinic with
IND planned in 2024
Regulatory News:
Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA)
(“Innate” or the “Company”) today announced that
first preclinical data for its asset IPH45, a novel and
differentiated exatecan-Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) targeting
Nectin-4, were presented in an oral presentation at the American
Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024.
In preclinical studies, data demonstrated that IPH45 effectively
inhibits Nectin-4 expressing tumor growth both in vitro and in
vivo, including in Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) refractory models.
Importantly, IPH45 shows stronger activity than EV, in multiple
urothelial carcinoma PDX (patient-derived xenografted) mice models,
across Nectin-4high and Nectin-4low expression levels. In addition,
IPH45 has an additive anti-tumor effect to anti-PD1 treatment in
vivo and has a favorable safety profile in relevant animal
toxicology models.
“IPH45 is a novel and differentiated Nectin-4 ADC with
preclinical efficacy in tumor types with various expression levels
of Nectin-4. Its exatecan payload allow for higher bystander-effect
and a broader therapeutic index than MMAE-ADCs," commented Prof.
Eric Vivier, DVM, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Innate
Pharma. "These promising results underscore the potential of
IPH45 to provide new solutions for patients in a variety of
Nectin-4 expressing cancers, beyond Nectin-4high expressing
bladder. Based on these encouraging data, we are eagerly advancing
IPH45 towards clinical trials."
The presentation is available on Innate Pharma’s website.
About IPH45
Nectin-4 is a cell membrane adhesion protein overexpressed in
several solid tumors, including urothelial, breast, lung, ovarian,
and pancreatic cancers, with limited expression in normal tissues.
IPH45 is a novel exatecan-Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) targeting
Nectin-4. In non-clinical models, IPH45 is well tolerated and shows
anti-tumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo. IPH45 is progressing
towards First in Human study.
