Insights

Purple Biotech shows promising data for novel cancer platforms despite losses, with strong biomarker results offering clear development pathway through 2026.

Purple Biotech's Q2 report presents a mixed but strategically focused picture of the company's oncology pipeline. The company's innovative CAPTN-3 tri-specific antibody platform is generating encouraging preclinical data demonstrating synergistic activity between its three functional arms - masked CD3, NKG2A, and tumor-associated antigen targeting. The lead candidate from this platform, IM1240, is advancing toward an IND submission expected in 2026.

Most compelling are the statistically significant efficacy results from the CM24 Phase 2 study in pancreatic cancer, where biomarker-selected patients showed dramatic improvements: 78% reduction in death risk and 81% reduction in progression/death risk in patients with specific CEACAM1 profiles. Even more striking is the 37.5% objective response rate in biomarker-positive patients versus 0% in controls - remarkable results for notoriously treatment-resistant pancreatic cancer.

The NT219 program has also progressed, with Phase 2 trials now initiated in head and neck cancer, combining with either pembrolizumab or cetuximab.

Financially, Purple has significantly reduced its cash burn, with R&D expenses decreasing 76.9% to $0.6 million and G&A expenses down 36% to $0.7 million. Operating losses decreased 64.3% to $1.2 million. With $5.6 million in cash, the company projects runway into Q3 2026, though they're actively seeking partnerships for CM24's next development phase.

The identification of predictive biomarkers for CM24 is particularly significant as it creates a clearer regulatory pathway and improves the risk/reward profile for this asset. The company's overall focus on immune evasion and drug resistance mechanisms targets critical unmet needs in oncology.

Purple Biotech's tri-specific antibody approach and impressive biomarker-driven results represent significant scientific advances in targeting treatment-resistant cancers.

Purple Biotech's CAPTN-3 platform represents a scientifically elegant approach to cancer immunotherapy. The tri-specific antibody design simultaneously addresses three critical challenges in immuno-oncology: conditional T-cell activation (via masked CD3), overcoming immune suppression (via NKG2A targeting), and tumor specificity (via tumor-associated antigen targeting).

The scientific value of this approach lies in its potential to enhance both specificity and efficacy while minimizing off-target toxicity - a persistent challenge with traditional T-cell engagers. The platform's spotlight at ASGCT 2025 by Dr. Amir Horowitz specifically for its targeting of the HLA-E/NKG2A axis is noteworthy, as this pathway is increasingly recognized as a critical immune checkpoint in both innate and adaptive immunity.

The CM24 data presented at AACR 2025 demonstrates the power of biomarker-driven patient selection in clinical trials. The 78% reduction in death risk and 37.5% objective response rate in biomarker-positive pancreatic cancer patients is particularly impressive given the historically poor responses in pancreatic cancer. The specific biomarker profiles - serum/tumor CEACAM1, MPO levels, and the relationship with PD-L1 CPS scores - provide a scientifically rational approach to patient selection for future studies.

The NT219 program targeting IRS1/2 degradation and STAT3 inhibition addresses fundamental mechanisms of treatment resistance. The initiation of the Phase 2 study in head and neck cancer with established immunotherapy and targeted therapy combinations represents a logical clinical development strategy based on the molecular profile of these tumors.

Overall, Purple's pipeline shows a coherent scientific strategy focused on overcoming core mechanisms of treatment resistance and immune evasion that have limited the efficacy of existing cancer therapies.

About Purple Biotech

Purple Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ/TASE: PPBT) is a clinical-stage company developing first-in-class therapies that seek to overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. The Company’s oncology pipeline includes CAPTN-3, CM24 and NT219. The Company is advancing CAPTN-3, a preclinical platform of conditionally activated tri-specific antibodies, which engage both T cells and NK cells to induce a strong, localized immune response within the tumor microenvironment. The cleavable capping technology confines the compound’s therapeutic activity to the local tumor microenvironment, thereby potentially increasing the anticipated therapeutic window in patients. The third arm specifically targets the Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA). The technology presents a novel mechanism of action by unleashing both innate and adaptive immune systems to mount an optimal anti-tumoral immune response. IM1240 is the first tri-specific antibody in development that targets the 5T4 antigen, which is expressed in a variety of solid tumors and is associated with advanced disease, increased invasiveness, and poor clinical outcomes. CM24 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks CEACAM1, which supports tumor immune evasion and survival through multiple pathways. CEACAM1 on tumor cells, immune cells and neutrophil extracellular traps is a novel target for the treatment of multiple cancer indications. As proof of concept of these novel pathways, the Company completed a Phase 2 study for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with CM24 as a combination therapy with the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab and chemotherapy, demonstrating clear and consistent improvement across all efficacy endpoints and the identification of two potential serum biomarkers and other potential tissue biomarkers. NT219 is a dual inhibitor, novel small molecule that simultaneously targets IRS1/2 and STAT3. A Phase 1 dose escalation study was concluded as a monotherapy and in combination with cetuximab, in which NT219 demonstrated anti-tumor activity in combination with cetuximab in second-line patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN). A Phase 2 study in collaboration with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, to treat R/M SCCHN patients with NT219 in combination with cetuximab or pembrolizumab was initiated. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Rehovot, Israel. For more information, please visit https://purple-biotech.com/.
