100% of Patients Achieve Remission Within 30 Days in Cohort 1 of Bispecific Mipletamig Frontline AML Trial
Two of three patients achieved both complete remission and MRD-negative status
High response rates observed in earlier studies continue in ongoing mipletamig trial
Cohort 2 enrollment commencing
SEATTLE, WA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2024 / Aptevo Therapeutics ("Aptevo") (Nasdaq:APVO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel bispecific immune-oncology therapeutics based on its proprietary ADAPTIR® and ADAPTIR-FLEX® platform technologies, today announced 100% of patients achieved remission* within 30 days, in Cohort 1 of the RAINIER frontline acute myeloid leukemia (AML) Phase 1b trial, including two patients who experienced complete remission with minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative status (100% elimination of cancer cells). The results build on data from the prior trial, in which 100% of frontline patients also achieved remission. *(Remission = complete remission (CR) and, complete remission with blood markers that have not yet recovered (CRi).
"We are very excited by these Cohort 1 results as they add to an already compelling story that highlights mipletamig's potential to elevate the frontline AML treatment paradigm. We now have a 100% rate of remission in Cohort 1 of RAINIER. We saw a 100% rate of remission in frontline patients treated with the combination in our completed dose expansion trial. Remarkably, 86% of patients across both trials went into remission within 30 days of receiving their first treatment," said Marvin White, President and CEO of Aptevo. "It's also important to note that mipletamig continues to demonstrate a favorable safety and tolerability profile, reinforcing its potential as a transformative addition to the standard of care combination. Cohort 2 enrollment is commencing, marking the next step in the study. We look forward to sharing new results as they become available."
Mipletamig, a CD3 x CD123 bispecific antibody, is being investigated as frontline therapy in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine, a current standard of care for AML. These latest results further reinforce mipletamig's potential as a transformative treatment, supported by impressive efficacy, safety, and tolerability data from two prior clinical trials involving 90 patients.
"Achieving remission in all three Cohort 1 patients is highly encouraging, particularly when viewed alongside prior trial results. Notably, two of these three patients achieved MRD-negative status, a critical outcome indicating that even the most sensitive diagnostic methods detect no remaining cancer cells. This result is strongly associated with longer-lasting remissions and improved survival rates," said Dirk Huebner, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Aptevo. "What makes these outcomes even more compelling is that one of the MRD-negative patients had a TP53 mutation, a subgroup known for its poor prognosis due to chemotherapy resistance, genetic instability, and overall treatment challenges. This growing body of data underscores mipletamig's potential to address some of the most difficult hurdles in AML treatment, delivering deep and durable responses for patients with the greatest need."
About RAINIER
RAINIER, a frontline AML study, is a Phase 1b/2 dose optimization, multi-center, multi-cohort, open label study of up to 39 patients who are being treated across five dose levels ranging from 9 mcg - 140 mcg in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine (ven/aza). Subjects will be adults aged 18 or older, newly diagnosed with AML who are not eligible for intensive induction chemotherapy. Phase 1b consists of 28-day cycles of treatment in five sequential cohorts. Aptevo has partnered with Prometrika (https://www.prometrika.com/), a premier contract research organization for the trial. RAINIER will be conducted in two parts. First, a Phase 1b dose optimization study in frontline AML patients followed by a Phase 2 study.
About Mipletamig
Aptevo's wholly owned lead proprietary drug candidate, mipletamig, targeting AML, MDS and other leukemias, is differentiated by design to redirect the immune system of the patient to destroy leukemic cells and leukemic stem cells expressing the target antigen CD123, which is a compelling target for AML due to its overexpression on leukemic stem cells and AML blasts. This antibody-like recombinant protein therapeutic is designed to engage both leukemic cells and T cells of the immune system and bring them closely together to trigger the destruction of leukemic cells. Mipletamig is purposefully designed to reduce the likelihood and severity of CRS by use of a unique CD3 derived from CRIS-7 vs. the CD3 used by other competitors. Mipletamig has received orphan drug designation ("orphan status") for AML according to the Orphan Drug Act. Mipletamig has been evaluated in 90 patients over two trials to date. RAINIER, Aptevo's Phase 1b/2 frontline AML program, was initiated in 3Q24.
About Aptevo Therapeutics
Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:APVO) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel bispecific immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. The company has two clinical candidates. Mipletamig is currently being evaluated in RAINIER, a Phase 1b/2 trial for the treatment of frontline acute myeloid leukemia in combination with standard of care venetoclax + azacitidine. Mipletamig has orphan status for AML according to the Orphan Drug Act. ALG.APV-527, a bispecific conditional 4-1BB agonist that is only active upon simultaneous binding to 4-1BB and 5T4, is being co-developed with Alligator Bioscience and is being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of multiple solid tumor types likely to express 5T4. Aptevo has three pre-clinical candidates with different mechanisms of action designed to target a range of solid tumors. All pipeline candidates were created from two proprietary platforms, ADAPTIR® and ADAPTIR-FLEX®. The Aptevo mission is to improve treatment outcomes and transform the lives of cancer patients.
