Welcome to our dedicated page for Affimed N.V. news (Ticker: AFMD), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Affimed N.V. stock.
Affimed N.V. (Nasdaq: AFMD) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Mannheim, Germany, with additional offices in New York, NY. Affimed is dedicated to leveraging the power of the innate immune system to develop innovative immuno-oncology therapies primarily aimed at treating various cancers. The company is at the forefront of developing its proprietary innate cell engagers (ICE®), which are designed to target and eliminate both hematologic and solid tumors.
At the core of Affimed's innovation is their ROCK® platform, a state-of-the-art technology that generates customized ICE® molecules. These molecules harness the natural power of immune cells, such as natural killer (NK) cells and T-cells, to target and destroy cancer cells. Affimed's lead products include AFM13 (acimtamig), AFM24, and AFM28, which are currently undergoing various stages of clinical trials.
AFM13, the company's flagship innate cell engager, shows promise in treating CD30-positive hematologic tumors. It has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with refractory Hodgkin lymphoma, achieving high objective response rates (ORR) and complete response (CR) rates. AFM13 is being investigated in combination with NK cells in the LuminICE-203 study, with initial data expected in the first half of 2024.
AFM24 is another key candidate, targeting EGFR-expressing solid tumors. It is currently being tested in combination with atezolizumab, a checkpoint inhibitor, in the AFM24-102 Phase 1/2a study. Recent data showed a disease control rate of 73.3% in heavily pretreated patients with EGFR wild-type non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including significant objective responses. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation for this combination therapy, highlighting its potential to meet unmet medical needs.
AFM28 targets CD123-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Preclinical studies have shown that AFM28 can effectively reduce tumor growth and eliminate leukemic blasts and stem cells. The drug is currently in early clinical development, with future plans to test it in combination with allogeneic off-the-shelf NK cells.
Affimed is also committed to strategic collaborations and partnerships to advance its clinical programs. Notable collaborations include those with Artiva Biotherapeutics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Roche. These partnerships are aimed at enhancing the efficacy and safety profiles of Affimed's therapies and bringing innovative treatments to patients more quickly.
Despite facing challenges such as restructuring and a reduction in workforce, Affimed remains focused on advancing its clinical pipeline. The company's strong leadership team, extensive experience in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, and a clear mission to revolutionize cancer treatment underscore its commitment to giving patients back their innate ability to fight cancer.
