Zai Lab (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) will present preliminary data from a Phase 1 trial of ZL-1218, an investigational anti-CCR8 antibody for advanced solid tumors, at the ESMO Congress 2024. The study (NCT05859464) aims to demonstrate ZL-1218's potential to reduce regulatory T cells and modulate T-cell function in the tumor microenvironment. ZL-1218 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CCR8, a receptor on tumor-associated regulatory T cells, potentially enhancing antitumor immune response.

The ongoing global Phase 1 study evaluates ZL-1218 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. Dr. Rafael G. Amado, President and Head of Global R&D at Zai Lab, highlighted the importance of overcoming tumor microenvironment complexities in cancer immunotherapy. The poster presentation at ESMO 2024 will focus on preliminary clinical PK and PD analysis of ZL-1218 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Trial update demonstrates the advancement of company’s robust, internal global oncology pipeline

SHANGHAI & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) today announced that data from a Phase 1 study of ZL-1218, the company’s anti-CCR8 antibody, will be presented in a poster session at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 taking place September 13-17, 2024, in Barcelona, Spain. The preliminary results from the ongoing dose-escalation clinical trial (NCT05859464) will highlight the potential of ZL-1218 to reduce regulatory T cells and modulate T-cell function in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of advanced solid tumors.

ZL-1218 is a humanized monoclonal antibody with an enhanced Fc region that targets CCR8, a chemokine receptor selectively expressed on tumor-associated regulatory T cells (Treg) and may enhance antitumor immune response by depletion of CCR8+ Treg cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity. ZL-1218 offers potential as a novel therapeutic to treat solid tumors. Enrollment is ongoing in the global Phase 1 study of ZL-1218 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.

“The ability to overcome the complexities of the tumor microenvironment are critical to improving patient outcomes in cancer immunotherapy,” said Rafael G. Amado, M.D., President, Head of Global Research and Development, Zai Lab. “The reduction of suppressive tumor-associated regulatory T cells by ZL-1218 offers promise to re-stimulate the immune attack on advanced solid tumors. We look forward to sharing preliminary results from our Phase 1 study at ESMO 2024.”
