(\u201cAdagene\u201d) (Nasdaq: ADAG), a platform-driven, clinical-stage biotechnology company transforming the discovery and development of novel antibody-based therapies, today announced the dosing of the first patient in a Phase 1 study evaluating the combination of muzastotug and INCA33890, Incyte\u2019s TGF\u03b2R2 \u00d7 PD-1 bispecific antibody, in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Phase 1 study is an open-label dose escalation and expansion trial in third-line MSS CRC patients with and without liver metastases who have progressed on prior therapies. Per the terms of the study collaboration first announced in April 2026, Incyte is sponsoring and conducting the study and Adagene is providing clinical supply of muzastotug.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cBuilding on the clinical activity observed with muzastotug plus pembrolizumab, this study will evaluate whether adding muzastotug to Incyte\u2019s TGF\u03b2R2 \u00d7 PD-1 bispecific can deepen and sustain antitumor responses in MSS colorectal cancer, including patients with liver metastases,\u201d said Peter Luo, Ph.D., Chairman and President of R&amp;D at Adagene. \u201cThe combination brings together muzastotug\u2019s intended intratumoral Treg-depleting activity and INCA33890\u2019s inhibition of two pathways that suppress T-cell function. The study will assess whether these complementary mechanisms can broaden clinical benefit with an acceptable safety profile based on the optimized doses in combination with PD-1. The strength of muzastotug as a potential backbone therapy for multiple indications continues to be recognized through several collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies, reflecting its differentiated safety profile relative to legacy CTLA-4 therapies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Adagene<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Adagene Inc. (Nasdaq: ADAG) is a platform-driven, clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to transforming the discovery and development of novel antibody-based cancer immunotherapies. Adagene combines computational biology and artificial intelligence to design novel antibodies that address globally unmet patient needs. The company has forged strategic collaborations with reputable global partners that leverage its SAFEbody\u00ae precision masking technology in multiple approaches at the vanguard of science.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Powered by its proprietary Dynamic Precision Library (DPL) platform, composed of NEObody\u2122, SAFEbody, and POWERbody\u2122 technologies, Adagene\u2019s highly differentiated pipeline features novel immunotherapy programs. The company\u2019s SAFEbody technology is designed to address safety and tolerability challenges associated with many antibody therapeutics by using precision masking technology to shield the binding domain of the biologic therapy. Through activation in the tumor microenvironment, this allows for tumor-specific targeting of antibodies, while minimizing on-target off-tumor toxicity in healthy tissues.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Adagene\u2019s lead clinical program, muzastotug (ADG126), is a masked, anti-CTLA-4 SAFEbody with FDA Fast Track designation that targets a unique epitope of CTLA-4 in regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment. Muzastotug is currently in Phase 1b\/2 and Phase 2 clinical studies in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy, particularly focused on microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Validated by ongoing clinical research, the SAFEbody platform can be applied to a wide variety of antibody-based therapeutic modalities, including Fc empowered antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and bi\/multi-specific T-cell engagers.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit: <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=nt8MZassinOquB3ZdlBgWtKAZbnk20M9UNGtgLz3Rr9vudIQ8j1uA2-yIW4zwXKE1ZXf3_S3jOjWnlSiQKkTEr7dVr9RqxkJKQ-dX1_moXlkko4fvzi-FMb_uQ0xK9pD\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/investor.adagene.com<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Adagene on WeChat, LinkedIn and X.<\/p>\n<p>SAFEbody\u00ae is a registered trademark in the United States, China, Australia, Japan, Singapore, and the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Safe Harbor Statement<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Phase 1 study of muzastotug (ADG126) in combination with INCA33890, the potential implications of clinical data for patients, and Adagene\u2019s advancement of, and anticipated preclinical activities, clinical development, regulatory milestones, and commercialization of its product candidates.
