Compass Therapeutics Initiates Phase 1 study of CTX-8371 in Patients

Compass Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical firm, reported that the intial patient has been dosed in its stage 1 dose-escalation clinical preliminary of CTX-8371, a PD-1 x PD-L1 bispecific neutralizer, in patients with solid tumours.

“Dosing the first patient in the CTX-8371 phase 1 represents the advancement of our third program into the clinic, which is an important milestone for the company,” said Vered Bisker-Leib, PhD, chief executive officer. “We recently published preclinical data in the peer-reviewed journal, OncoImmunology, supporting the novel mechanism of action of CTX-8371: proteolytic cleavage and subsequent loss of cell surface PD-1. We believe this mechanism drives the enhanced anti-tumour activity of CTX-8371 in preclinical models when compared to approved anti-PD-1 and PD-L1 therapies and warrants its evaluation in patients.”

CTX-8371 is a cutting edge bispecific designated spot inhibitor that all the while targets PD-1 and PD-L1 and displays a novel system of-activity that includes cleavage of cell surface PD-1. CTX-8371 got FDA sanction of the IND in October 2023. The Stage 1 CTX-8371 review configuration incorporates five rising dosages (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, and 10 mg/kg) and the review is selecting patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), Hodgkin Lymphoma, and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have advanced on somewhere around one earlier regimen containing designated spot blocker.
