GEN-011

Patient-specific neoAgs against which their T cells were responsive were identified with ATLAS, and up to 30 neoAgs were prioritized for manufacture; pro-tumor Inhibigens™ were excluded. NPTs can routinely be manufactured in a GMP setting to treat patients with solid tumors. By expanding fresh, non-exhausted NeoAg-specific T cells with known tumor specificity from the periphery, GEN-011 has the potential to provide clinical benefits of TIL with greater accessibility and minimal irrelevant T cells. The TiTAN trial is ongoing.

Genocea’s GEN-011 neoantigen-targeted peripheral T cell (NPT) therapy candidate, designed using ATLAS-identified neoantigens and omitting Inhibigens, is being evaluated in an ongoing clinical trial (NCT04596033). Continued exploration of mechanisms of action of Inhibigen-specific responses may reveal new paradigms of cancer immune evasion. 1H Lam et al, Cancer Discov 2021;11:1-18

Genocea’s GEN-009 and GEN-011 phase 1/2 clinical trials utilize ATLAS to identify optimal neoantigens and omit Inhibigens from cancer vaccines and T cell therapies. Ongoing exploration of Inhibigen phenotypes and mechanisms will illuminate new paradigms of cancer immunology and potentially pave the way for novel cancer immunotherapies.
