Immutep (ASX: IMM; NASDAQ: IMMP), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced the completion of patient enrolment for the INSIGHT-003 trial. This multi-centre Phase I trial evaluates the combination of eftilagimod alpha (efti), pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®), and doublet chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (1L NSCLC).

The trial has enrolled approximately 50 evaluable patients across multiple sites in Germany, led by the Frankfurt Institute of Clinical Cancer Research IKF. Initial results, reported on 14 November 2024, showed a median Overall Survival (OS) of 32.9 months and a 24-month OS rate of 81.0% in patients with a minimum follow-up of 22 months (N=21). These results compare favourably to a registrational trial showing a median OS of 22.0 months and a 24-month OS rate of 45.5% for anti-PD-1 and doublet chemotherapy in non-squamous 1L NSCLC regardless of PD-L1 expression.

Further data updates from the INSIGHT-003 trial are expected in 2025 and beyond. For more information on the trial, visit clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03252938).

Immutep (ASX: IMM; NASDAQ: IMMP), una compagnia biotecnologica in fase clinica, ha annunciato il completamento dell'arruolamento dei pazienti per il trial INSIGHT-003. Questo trial di fase I multicentrico valuta la combinazione di eftilagimod alfa (efti), pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) e chemioterapia in doppio trattamento come terapia di prima linea per il cancro polmonare non a piccole cellule non squamoso avanzato o metastatico (1L NSCLC).

Il trial ha arruolato circa 50 pazienti valutabili in diversi centri in Germania, guidato dall'Istituto di Ricerca Clinica sul Cancro di Francoforte IKF. I risultati iniziali, riportati il 14 novembre 2024, hanno mostrato una sopravvivenza complessiva mediana (OS) di 32,9 mesi e un tasso di sopravvivenza a 24 mesi dell'81,0% in pazienti con un follow-up minimo di 22 mesi (N=21). Questi risultati sono favorevoli rispetto a uno studio registrativo che mostrava una sopravvivenza mediana di 22,0 mesi e un tasso di OS a 24 mesi del 45,5% per il trattamento anti-PD-1 e la chemioterapia in doppio nel NSCLC non squamoso 1L, indipendentemente dall'espressione di PD-L1.

Ulteriori aggiornamenti sui dati del trial INSIGHT-003 sono previsti per il 2025 e oltre. Per ulteriori informazioni sul trial, visita clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03252938).

Cet essai de phase I multicentrique évalue la combinaison d’eftilagimod alpha (efti), de pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) et de chimiothérapie en doublet comme traitement de première intention pour le cancer du poumon non à petites cellules non squameux avancé ou métastatique (1L NSCLC).

L'essai a inclus environ 50 patients évaluables sur plusieurs sites en Allemagne, dirigé par l'Institut de Recherche Clinique sur le Cancer de Francfort IKF. Les résultats initiaux, rapportés le 14 novembre 2024, ont montré une durée médiane de survie globale (OS) de 32,9 mois et un taux de survie à 24 mois de 81,0 % chez les patients avec un suivi minimum de 22 mois (N=21). Ces résultats sont favorables par rapport à un essai d'enregistrement montrant une OS médiane de 22,0 mois et un taux de survie à 24 mois de 45,5 % pour un traitement anti-PD-1 et de la chimiothérapie en double dans le NSCLC non squameux 1L, indépendamment de l'expression de PD-L1.

Immutep (ASX: IMM; NASDAQ: IMMP), ein biotechnologisches Unternehmen in der klinischen Phase, gab den Abschluss der Patientenrekrutierung für die INSIGHT-003 Studie bekannt. Diese multizentrische Phase-I-Studie bewertet die Kombination aus eftilagimod alfa (efti), pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) und Doppelchemotherapie als Erstlinienbehandlung für fortgeschrittenen oder metastasierenden nicht-squamous nicht-kleinzelligen Lungenkrebs (1L NSCLC).

In der Studie wurden etwa 50 evaluierbare Patienten an mehreren Standorten in Deutschland rekrutiert, geleitet vom Frankfurter Institut für klinische Krebsforschung IKF. Erste Ergebnisse, die am 14. November 2024 veröffentlicht wurden, zeigten eine mediane Gesamtüberlebenszeit (OS) von 32,9 Monaten und eine 24-Monats-OS-Rate von 81,0% bei Patienten mit einer Mindestnachbeobachtungszeit von 22 Monaten (N=21). Diese Ergebnisse sind vorteilhaft im Vergleich zu einer registrierungsrelevanten Studie, die eine mediane OS von 22,0 Monaten und eine 24-Monats-OS-Rate von 45,5% für Anti-PD-1 und Doppelchemotherapie bei nicht-squamous 1L NSCLC unabhängig von der PD-L1-Expression zeigt.

Weitere Datenaktualisierungen aus der INSIGHT-003-Studie werden für 2025 und darüber hinaus erwartet. Für weitere Informationen zu der Studie besuchen Sie clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03252938).

Insights

The completion of patient enrollment in INSIGHT-003 marks a critical milestone for Immutep's efti program in first-line NSCLC treatment. The preliminary Overall Survival data showing 32.9 months median OS and 81.0% 24-month OS rate significantly outperforms historical benchmarks of 22.0 months median OS and 45.5% OS rate for standard anti-PD-1/chemo combinations. This 10.9-month improvement in median survival and nearly double 24-month survival rate suggests the triple combination could represent a meaningful advance in treating advanced NSCLC. The full enrollment of approximately 50 evaluable patients will provide a more robust dataset to validate these promising early signals. A simple way to understand this: imagine current treatments allow about 45 out of 100 patients to survive for 2 years, while this new combination appears to help 81 out of 100 patients reach that milestone - a dramatic improvement in survival odds.

The trial's completion of enrollment ahead of planned data updates in 2025 demonstrates strong operational execution and investigator interest. The multi-center German trial setting provides credibility through established research infrastructure. The focus on first-line treatment in the metastatic setting addresses a critical therapeutic need where improving upon current standards could significantly impact patient care. For non-experts: First-line treatment means this is used when patients are first diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, not after other treatments have failed. This timing is important because patients typically have the best chance of responding when treated earlier in their disease course. The trial's design evaluating a novel triple combination builds on established treatment backbones (pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy) while adding efti's unique LAG-3 targeting mechanism.
  • Multi-centre trial evaluating efti in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer reaches enrolment target of approximately 50 evaluable patients
  • Data updates from INSIGHT-003 are expected in 2025 and beyond
