BioInvent International AB (BioInvent), a biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel and first-in-class immune-modulatory antibodies for cancer immunotherapy, announces the completion of the planned dose escalation part of its phase 1/2a trial of the anti-TNFR2 drug candidate BI-1808. Given the positive safety and tolerability profile observed so far, a higher dose of BI-1808 as single agent will be tested to explore the effect of higher exposure.
In the ongoing study, BI-1808 was shown to be safe and well tolerated with no serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicity observed during dose-escalation. Only grade 1 and 2 adverse events related or possibly related to BI-1808 were observed during treatment. Three disease stabilizations were observed during the escalation process.
