Innate Pharma announced FDA clearance of its IND application for IPH4502, a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor antibody drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Nectin-4 in solid tumors. The company plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical study in the coming months. The study will be an open-label, multi-center trial assessing the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of IPH4502 as a single agent in advanced solid tumors known to express Nectin-4, including urothelial carcinoma, non-small cell lung, breast, ovarian, gastric and colorectal cancers.

The study will include a Part 1 Dose Escalation and a Part 2 Dose Optimization. This marks Innate's first ADC program to enter clinical trials, representing a significant milestone for the company.

Innate Pharma ha annunciato l'approvazione da parte della FDA della sua domanda IND per IPH4502, un nuovo inibitore della topoisomerasi I conjugato farmaco-antibody (ADC) che colpisce Nectin-4 in tumori solidi. L'azienda prevede di avviare uno studio clinico di Fase 1 nei prossimi mesi. Lo studio sarà uno trial multicentrico in aperto che valuterà la sicurezza, la tollerabilità e l'efficacia preliminare di IPH4502 come agente singolo in tumori solidi avanzati noti per esprimere Nectin-4, inclusi carcinoma uroteliale, carcinoma polmonare non a piccole cellule, mammella, ovaio, gastrico e colon-retto.

Lo studio includerà una Parte 1 di Escalation della Dose e una Parte 2 di Ottimizzazione della Dose. Questo segna il primo programma ADC di Innate ad entrare negli studi clinici, rappresentando una pietra miliare significativa per l'azienda.
