ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ALXO) is a forward-thinking clinical-stage immuno-oncology company committed to developing innovative therapies to aid cancer patients. The company is at the forefront of therapeutic advancements by targeting the CD47 immune checkpoint pathway, which cancer cells exploit to avoid detection and elimination by the immune system.
Lead Product Candidate: Evorpacept
ALX Oncology’s flagship product, evorpacept, is a next-generation CD47 blocker designed to overcome limitations inherent in other CD47 blocking approaches. Evorpacept combines a high-affinity CD47 binding domain with an inactivated Fc region, ensuring minimal hematologic toxicity while enabling higher dosage. This design aims to augment the immune response against cancer cells.
Clinical Trials and Achievements
Evorpacept is being evaluated in multiple clinical trials—including Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials—across a spectrum of hematologic and solid malignancies. The ASPEN-06 Phase 2 clinical trial for HER2-positive gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer has shown promising results, demonstrating an overall response rate of 52% compared to 22% for the control group.
Another significant milestone was achieved in the ASPEN-07 trial, where evorpacept was combined with PADCEV® (enfortumab vedotin) in patients with advanced bladder cancer. The combination demonstrated promising activity with a 61% overall response rate. This study, among others, highlights evorpacept's potential to work synergistically with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and checkpoint inhibitors.
Financial Health and Corporate Development
ALX Oncology has maintained a robust financial position, reporting $184.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of the first quarter of 2024. The company recently completed a public offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $63.2 million. This financial strength supports its extensive clinical pipeline and ongoing research efforts.
Strategic Partnerships and Future Outlook
The company collaborates with leading institutions and pharmaceutical companies to enhance its therapeutic offerings. Upcoming milestones include top-line results from multiple Phase 2 clinical trials and the initiation of a Phase 3 registrational trial. ALX Oncology is poised to make significant strides in the oncology landscape by focusing on therapies that bridge the innate and adaptive immune systems.
