ALX Oncology (NASDAQ:ALXO) has initiated its Phase 1 clinical trial of ALX2004, a potential first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting EGFR-expressing solid tumors. The first patient has been dosed in the open-label multicenter study (NCT07085091).
The trial will evaluate ALX2004 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and colorectal cancer (CRC). The study comprises Phase 1a dose escalation, dose exploration, and Phase 1b dose expansion portions.
ALX2004 features an optimized design with an affinity-tuned EGFR antibody and proprietary topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. Preclinical data has shown superior stability, dose-dependent activity, and a favorable safety profile without significant EGFR-related skin toxicity. Initial safety data is expected in the first half of 2026.
ALX Oncology (NASDAQ:ALXO) reported significant advances in its clinical programs during Q2 2025. A key highlight was the identification of CD47 expression as a predictive biomarker in HER2+ gastric cancer patients, where CD47-high patients showed a 65% objective response rate with evorpacept combination therapy versus 26% in the control group.
The company has updated its ASPEN-Breast trial design to a single-arm study incorporating CD47 biomarker strategy, with interim data expected in Q3 2026. Additionally, ALX2004, their novel ADC candidate for EGFR-expressing tumors, is set to begin patient dosing in August 2025.
Financially, ALX reported $83.5 million in cash as of June 30, 2025, extending runway into Q1 2027. Q2 net loss was $25.9 million ($0.49 per share), improved from $39.4 million in Q2 2024.

ALX Oncology Holdings (Nasdaq: ALXO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing cancer therapies, has announced it will release its first quarter 2025 financial results on Thursday, May 8th, 2025, before the market opens. The company has specified that it will not hold a conference call to discuss the results.
ALX Oncology (ALXO) has announced final results from a Phase 1 trial evaluating evorpacept in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The study demonstrated promising outcomes with 83% complete response rate in indolent NHL patients, significantly higher than the 34% historical rate with R2 alone.
The trial enrolled 20 patients, including 18 with indolent and 2 with aggressive R/R B-NHL. Key findings include:
- Two-year progression-free survival rate of 69%
- Two-year overall survival rate of 84%
- 90% best overall response rate
- Well-tolerated treatment with no dose-limiting toxicities
The Phase 2 portion of the trial in previously untreated indolent NHL patients has completed enrollment. Results will be presented at the AACR 2025 Annual Meeting.
ALX Oncology (ALXO) announced that its Phase 2 ASPEN-03 and ASPEN-04 clinical trials for evorpacept in combination with Merck's KEYTRUDA® did not meet primary endpoints for treating head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The trials evaluated improved objective response rates compared to historical controls.
Despite encouraging trends in ASPEN-03, the company will discontinue pursuing evorpacept with pembrolizumab in HNSCC. However, ALX Oncology will continue multiple clinical trials of evorpacept combined with anti-cancer antibodies, citing positive results in HER2-positive gastric and breast cancer trials.
The company remains focused on evorpacept's primary mechanism of action - blocking the CD47 'don't eat me' signal on cancer cells - and its ongoing evaluation in colorectal cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma trials.
