CLDN6 positive

More importantly, CAR-NK cells combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, anti-PD-L1, could synergistically enhance the antitumor efficacy of CLDN6-targeted CAR-NK cells. These results indicate that CLDN6-CAR NK cells possess strong antitumor activity and represent a promising immunotherapeutic modality for ovarian cancer.

High expression of CLDN6 mRNA is associated with the dysregulation of distinct biological pathways regulating cell growth, proliferation, and cell-matrix interactions. Clinically, the expression of CLDN6 protein is a valuable adverse prognostic marker in EAC and GAC.

The safety profile in terms of CRS, ICANS and DLTs observed is in line with previously reported observations. We intend to present data on up to 42 pts, with a data cut-off of 10.09.2023.

We report the development of a novel antibody-drug conjugate, CLDN6-23-ADC, that selectively targets CLDN6, a potential onco-fetal-antigen which is highly expressed in ovarian and endometrial cancers. CLDN6-23-ADC exhibits robust tumor regressions in mouse models of human ovarian and endometrial cancers and is currently undergoing Phase I study.

Additional sites will be opened in Europe, USA, and Asia in 2023. Clinical trial information: NCT05262530.

In chRCC CLDN6 expression is not associated with parameters of aggressiveness or survival. Due to the rare incidence of chRCC further studies with larger cohorts are warranted.

CLDN6 expression seems ubiquitous in all elements of GCT and is worthy of investigation as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target. (Clinical trial information: NCT03760081).

Functional evaluation of CLDN6X4-1BB BsAb indicated that the activation of 4-1BB signaling was dependent on CLDN6 expression on tumor cells and the activity was stronger than reference 4-1BB monoclonal antibody urelumab...From the safety perspective, there were no significant changes in liver enzymes or liver histopathology following repeated BsAb administration, suggesting little risks for liver toxicity commonly induced by other 4-1BB agonist antibodies.Conclusions We have successfully generated a novel CLDN6-targeted 4-1BB bispecific antibody which could induce potent 4-1BB stimulation and anti-tumor activity in a CLDN6-dependent manner while minimizing the risk of liver toxicity. Taken together, these data support further development of CLDN6 X 4-1BB bispecific antibody towards IND and clinical trial in 2022.

Furthermore, NBL-028 is designed upon a proprietary molecular scaffold with superior developability features, demonstrated by stability, yield and ease to purify. NBL-028 is currently at the stage of IND-enabling activities with the aim to enter clinical studies for treating Claudin 6 positive solid tumors in 1Q 2023.

CLDN6 CAR-T cells ± CARVac show an acceptable safety profile at doses tested and encouraging signs of clinical activity. Data from the completed dose escalation phase will be presented.

Manageable cytokine release syndrome (CRS, grade 1-2, the latter managed with Tocilizumab) without any signs of neurotoxicity have been observed in both patients of part 1 DL2. Updated data from open cohorts and especially for combination with CARVac will be presented. Clinicaltrials gov: NCT04503278
