(NGM) (Nasdaq: NGM), a biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing transformative therapeutics for patients, announced it has dosed the first patient in a Phase 1\/2 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics\/pharmacodynamics of NGM707 when given alone or in combination with KEYTRUDA\u00ae (pembrolizumab), an anti- PD-1 antibody. NGM707 is a novel dual antagonist antibody that inhibits the Immunoglobulin-like Transcript 2 (ILT2) and Immunoglobulin-like Transcript 4 (ILT4) receptors.\u00a0\u00a0 NGM707 originated from NGM\u2019s in-house discovery engine. The program follows NGM120, a glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor alpha-like (GFRAL) antagonistic antibody, which is currently in a Phase 2 study in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, as the second NGM wholly owned oncology candidate in the clinic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNGM707 is designed to improve tumor responses in cancer patients by both reprogramming immuno-suppressive myeloid cells through ILT4 inhibition and by further stimulating the activity of myeloid and lymphoid cells through ILT2 inhibition. As ILT4 inhibition continues to gain interest as a potentially important oncology strategy, our research suggests that NGM707\u2019s novel dual blockade of ILT4 and ILT2 may yield enhanced anti-tumor activity,\u201d said Alex DePaoli, M.D., Senior Vice President, Chief Translational Officer at NGM. \u201cAs a result, we believe NGM707 offers a potentially compelling treatment profile and could represent an important therapeutic advancement for patients with cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ILT2 and ILT4 are receptors overexpressed on myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment. These receptors are implicated in suppressing anti-tumor immune responses and may represent myeloid checkpoints that enable certain tumors to evade immune detection.\u00a0\u00a0 NGM707 was designed with the goal of improving patient immune responses to tumors by inhibiting both the ILT2 and ILT4 receptors. In preclinical studies of NGM707, NGM has demonstrated that blockade of ILT4 reverses myeloid cell immune suppression, while blockade of ILT2 promotes natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T-cell killing of tumor cells and activates macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells. Furthermore, preclinical studies of NGM707 have shown that the dual blockade of ILT2 and ILT4 may be more effective than blockade of either receptor alone in reversing suppression of Fc receptor signaling. In addition, preclinical work has shown that NGM707 in combination with pembrolizumab acts additively to increase T-cell activation and cytokine secretion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we continue to look for novel agents applicable to a broad range of solid tumors and approaches with stronger anti-tumor immune responses, a therapeutic that addresses key myeloid checkpoint resistance mechanisms could represent a significant advancement for cancer patients,\u201d said Patricia LoRusso, DO, Professor of Medicine (Medical Oncology); Associate Cancer Center Director, Experimental Therapeutics, Yale University.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cNGM707, by reversing myeloid and lymphoid checkpoints, is a promising approach that can potentially help these patients. We look forward to enrolling patients in this Phase 1\/2 study and understanding how NGM707\u2019s preclinical benefits may translate to patients in the clinical setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About the NGM707 Phase 1\/2 Study Design<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The Phase 1 portion (n=60) of the study includes a monotherapy dose escalation arm (Part 1a) and a dose-finding arm in combination with KEYTRUDA (Part 1b) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and recommended Phase 2 dose of NGM707 alone and administered in combination with KEYTRUDA. Parts 1a and 1b may also provide the opportunity to identify preliminary efficacy signals. The Phase 2 portion (n=120) of the study employs a basket design that will include expansion cohorts of patients treated with NGM707 monotherapy (Part 2a) or NGM707 in combination with KEYTRUDA (Part 2b) to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NGM707 alone or in combination with KEYTRUDA.\u00a0\u00a0 Preliminary evidence of anti-tumor response in the Phase 2a portion will be evaluated using objective response rate, duration of response and progression free survival, while the Phase 2b portion will also evaluate overall survival. Both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions of the study will provide the opportunity to evaluate correlations between biomarker changes and clinical outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>This study will enroll adult patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with elevated expression of ILT2 and ILT4, including patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), mesothelioma, glioblastoma, melanoma, pancreatic, gastric, biliary duct, breast, ovarian, cervical, endocervical, colorectal and esophageal cancer.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information about the study, please click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=9e8BvQkpnPReFTzp3eJfKXpLUCLeKmxWEWGGDEAnaihMOcqZ9R1r_ZjIhr-k87bUBGkUW2yDtBMc0oZCTvRUR25vFjqu2ZDAjUmS_sijkgbPKFhxjyQILcvtRaX0uDugzmzekweC1dLIp3YSlBbSFA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to visit the listing on clinicaltrials.gov.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About NGM\u2019s Oncology Portfolio<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>NGM\u2019s currently disclosed oncology product candidates are all derived from the company\u2019s in-house discovery engine and are wholly owned by NGM.
