The myeloid checkpoint inhibitor evorpacept was well tolerated in combination with AZA with an initial safety profile similar to that of AZA monotherapy. The evorpacept RP2D in combination with AZA is 60 mg/kg Q4W. Promising initial activity has been observed, with objective responses and hematologic improvement at multiple dose levels in subjects with both ND and R/R MDS, including those with adverse risk features such as TP53 mutation with complex cytogenetics, therapy-related MDS, and prior HMA-failure.
