(Nasdaq: CMPX), a clinical-stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary antibody-based therapeutics, announced the first patient has been dosed in an Investigator Sponsored Trial (IST) to evaluate tovecimig (CTX-009, a DLL4 x VEGF-A bispecific antibody) for the first time in the front-line setting for patients with biliary tract cancer (BTC). The IST is being conducted at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis first-line study of tovecimig in patients with BTC represents a significant step forward and we are deeply grateful to the dedicated team at MD Anderson for their leadership in conducting this trial,\u201d said Thomas Schuetz, MD, PhD, CEO of Compass and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. \u201cThe IST complements our ongoing second-line Phase 2\/3 study of tovecimig in patients with biliary tract cancer; importantly, we recently announced that tovecimig met the primary endpoint in our Phase 2\/3 Study. We expect to report results of the secondary endpoints in the Phase 2\/3 Study, including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), in the fourth quarter of this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the MD Anderson-led, open-label trial, tovecimig is being added to a standard first-line regimen of gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab in an estimated 50 patients with unresectable or metastatic BTC. The study will have a standard safety run-in phase in 12 patients followed by an expansion phase in which 38 additional patients will be treated. The primary objectives in the study are to assess 6-month progression-free survival, to assess the tolerability and safety of this combination, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of tovecimig in this combination. Secondary objectives include overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Preclinical and early clinical data of tovecimig suggest that blockade of both pathways provides robust anti-tumor activity across several solid tumors, including colorectal, gastric, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic and non-small cell lung cancer. Partial responses to tovecimig as a monotherapy have been observed in heavily pre-treated patients with cancer who were resistant to approved anti-VEGF therapies.

Compass\u2019s scientific focus is on the relationship between angiogenesis, the immune system, and tumor growth. The company pipeline of novel product candidates is designed to target multiple critical biological pathways required for an effective anti-tumor response. These include modulation of the microvasculature via angiogenesis-targeted agents, induction of a potent immune response via activators on effector cells in the tumor microenvironment, and alleviation of immunosuppressive mechanisms used by tumors to evade immune surveillance. Compass plans to advance its product candidates through clinical development as both standalone therapies and in combination with proprietary pipeline antibodies based on supportive clinical and nonclinical data. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
