EVT801

This enables us to select indications that might benefit from EVT801 as a monotherapy (e.g., clear cell renal cell carcinoma and soft tissue sarcomas) or in combination with standard of care. Accordingly, VEGFR-3 expression is retrospectively quantified during the EVT801 phase 1 clinical trial and may be used to stratify patients in the future.

This held true even in patients treated with sunitinib, positioning EVT801 as a potential treatment option after failure of such multi tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We were able to quantify VEGFR-3 expression in the kidney and soft tissue sarcoma cohorts plus several others, such as hepatocarcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer. This enables us selecting indications that might benefit from EVT801 as a monotherapy (e.g., clear cell renal cell carcinoma and soft tissue sarcomas) or in combination with standard of care. Accordingly, VEGFR-3 expression is retrospectively quantified during EVT801 clinical trial phase 1 trial and may be used to stratify patients in the future.

A potential third stage, consisting of a multiple ascending dose evaluation of the combination of EVT801 with immuno-oncology drugs, may be added to the ongoing trial, pending further technical discussions with physicians and regulators. In addition to conventional measures of safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics, the phase I study will employ a rich suite of histological, immunological, and radiological biomarkers to provide early insights into the activity of EVT801.
