(NGM) (Nasdaq: NGM), a biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing transformative therapeutics for patients, today disclosed its fourth oncology development candidate, NGM831, an antagonist antibody designed to block the interaction of ILT3 with fibronectin, as well as with other ligands. The announcement coincides with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=uROXV5v0YI79fH1GQrCuXObfWopuTxP988pQ6sgbNO5mc1mjfcQDXcCfEwlpLjWAUjxgkHn2EG7EQFRh0VUe7i7h72Xblq30o_k2Sy4r3S7b7vHZSTbi1PKdE0TnwCC8jCEj-pigJ-U7ADAAbZuyOr4YQzLv2hoByAvS0pfKJUo=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">publication<\/a> in <em>Cancer Immunology Research<\/em>, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research,<sup>1<\/sup> describing NGM\u2019s discovery of ILT3\u2019s functional ligand, fibronectin, an extracellular matrix protein that forms a fibrillar network within the tumor stroma. This discovery enabled the development of NGM831, which joins NGM\u2019s growing portfolio of wholly owned oncology antibody programs, including NGM120 (anti-GFRAL), NGM707 (anti-ILT2\/ILT4) and NGM438 (anti-LAIR1).<\/p>\n<p>NGM is a leader in research elucidating the central role that myeloid cells play in creating a suppressive environment around many solid tumors that restricts antitumor immunity. Myeloid cells often represent the most abundant tumor-associated immune cells and, in some tumors, myeloid cells alone account for more than half of the tumor mass<sup>2<\/sup>. Through systematic screening, NGM was able to identify the suppressive receptors that are most highly enriched in myeloid cells, including four members of the LILR family: ILT2, ILT3, ILT4 and LAIR1. These receptors may play a central role in establishing the immune suppressive state of the tumor microenvironment<sup>3-6<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work we published on the ILT3-fibronectin pathway and our unveiling of NGM831 is yet another proof point of our robust in-house capabilities to deeply interrogate biology and rapidly translate our discoveries into investigational medicines designed to bring hope and meaningful change to patients with cancer and other serious diseases,\u201d said David J. Woodhouse, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at NGM. \u201cWith oncology programs now targeting ILT2\/ILT4, ILT3 and LAIR1, we have constructed a comprehensive myeloid reprogramming strategy that is directed at multiple and distinct targets. Our planned biomarker strategy across the NGM707, NGM831 and NGM438 clinical development programs will help inform target patient populations for each product candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NGM plans to initiate first-in-human testing of NGM831 in the first half of 2022. In July 2021, NGM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=_7Q1M2vB_1gzjNDDQhnk_aPdYBjchPLKS_81HogFK1RySBiztkRs34zgvJtCqm-PJ5d_3FPbRcM1SkO4PyORPQKovMkzxECLkkg4YdYgKQKlPWZ6R5h-SsEFSewcfzNyvU8rgNvIaas4YARCJlJ-wdk_tEI5iyT9nowEMyQN80zDl2B64B6GmloQHyHXGDaS0HBKh-4mIlRHjmw0tF1aCg==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> the initiation of a Phase 1\/2 study of NGM707 when given alone or in combination with KEYTRUDA\u00ae (pembrolizumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors, which is anticipated to enroll 180 patients. NGM also plans to initiate a Phase 1 study of NGM438 in advanced solid tumors in the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>As detailed in the publication, ILT3 is a fibronectin-binding inhibitory immune receptor that receives signals from the extracellular matrix to directly promote myeloid cell suppression. ILT3 is expressed specifically on tumor-associated myeloid cells, with particularly high expression on tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells and M2 macrophages. This receptor is upregulated in several tumor types and is associated with poor survival<sup>7,8<\/sup>. Moreover, fibronectin has been shown to be upregulated in multiple cancers and associated with tumor progression<sup>9,10<\/sup>. For tumors in which both ILT3 and fibronectin are upregulated, the ILT3-fibronectin pathway may act as a stromal checkpoint to repress myeloid cell function.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to inhibit ILT3 interactions with fibronectin and other ligands, NGM831 is expected to reprogram tolerogenic DCs into stimulatory cells with enhanced Fc receptor activity as well as to enhance T cell infiltration and activation. The findings published today are the latest research underpinning NGM\u2019s growing oncology portfolio focused on tumor stroma biology and myeloid reprogramming to enhance antitumor immunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNGM has a strong track record of identifying important ligand-receptor interactions, thereby opening the door to impactful therapeutics,\u201d said Alex DePaoli, M.D., Chief Translational Officer at NGM Bio. \u201cWe are pleased to showcase how our team of scientists identified ILT3\u2019s functional ligand, fibronectin, and subsequently designed an antibody specifically tailored against the target. By inhibiting ILT3\u2019s interaction with fibronectin, NGM831 represents another potential approach to mobilize a patient\u2019s own immune system to fight tumors by shifting myeloid cells from a suppressive state to a stimulatory state and promoting antitumor immunity.\u201d<\/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.
