ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) (the "Company"), a U.S.-based, global biotech company exclusively focused on the development of highly differentiated immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, today announced a poster presentation of PK/PD modeling data for uliledlimab at the International Association for the Study of Lung Disease (IASLD)'s 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC 2024) held September 7-10, 2024 in San Diego, CA.

Uliledlimab (TJ004309) is an antibody designed to target CD73, the rate-limiting enzyme critical for adenosine-driven immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Blocking CD73 allows anti-tumor immunity to proceed without the presence of an adenosine-induced "immunological fog". The WCLC 2024 presentation includes data from uliledlimab PK/PD analyses from three Phase 1 studies including patients with treatment naïve metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC).
"The PK/PD analysis presented at WCLC underscores our view that uliledlimab has the potential to be a differentiated, best-in-class, CD73 inhibitor. The data support our dose selection work and upcoming combination studies, with a study of uliledlimab plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy expected to begin in the first half of 2025," said Phillip Dennis, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of I-Mab. "We are particularly encouraged by the E-R analysis, which showed a positive relationship between uliledlimab exposure and the probability of an overall response in patients with NSCLC, as well as positive target engagement data and dose proportional PK results. These data, plus a previously presented favorable safety profile and clinical efficacy, fortify our view that uliledlimab has the potential to meaningfully improve the care of patients with mNSCLC."
Poster Title: Integrated PK/PD Modeling for Uliledlimab, an Anti-CD73 MonoclonalAntibody, in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients (Poster #2979)
Data are based on analysis of three Phase 1 studies conducted in China evaluating uliledlimab, as a monotherapy and in combination studies with the checkpoint inhibitors, toripalimab or atezolizumab, in patients with advanced cancers, including mNSCLC.
Key Findings Include:
