SOUTHLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OncoNano Medicine, Inc. (“OncoNano”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of polymeric micelles encapsulating anti-cancer payloads, today announced that it will present a Trials in Progress poster at the upcoming 2024 American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place in Chicago, Illinois, May 31st–June 4th, 2024.
The poster will highlight the study objectives and design of the ongoing ON-5001 study, a phase 1/1b, multicenter, open label, non-randomized dose escalation and dose expansion to examine the safety, tolerability and optimal dosing of ONM-501, a dual-activating STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes) agonist, as a monotherapy and in combination with cemiplimab (Libtayo®) in patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas (NCT06022029).
Details for the ASCO Annual Meeting Trials in Progress poster presentation are as follows:
Presentation Overview:
TITLE: A phase 1 dose-escalation and expansion study of an intratumorally administered dual STING agonist (ONM-501) alone and in combination with cemiplimab in patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas.
PRESENTER: Julia Foldi, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine, Oncology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
SESSION: Developmental Therapeutics—Immunotherapy
POSTER: Poster Board #160a; Abstract TPS2693
DATE/TIME: June 1, 2024; 9:00 AM-12:00 PM CDT
Once presented the poster will be made available on the OncoNano website at Publications — OncoNano (www.onconano.com/publication).
About ONM-501
ONM-501 is a next generation dual-activating STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes) agonist currently in phase 1 development for the treatment of solid tumors. STING activation mediates a multifaceted type-1 interferon response that is critical in the activation of innate and adaptive immunity against infection and, potentially, cancer. ONM-501 is a pH-sensitive polymer, PC7A, carrying a cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) payload, that together induce prolonged STING activation. In preclinical models, when delivered to the tumor microenvironment, ONM-501 produces dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T cells priming, while demonstrating antitumor efficacy. ONM-501 is currently being evaluated in a phase 1, multicenter, open label, non-randomized dose escalation and dose expansion trial to examine the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and early activity of ONM-501 as a monotherapy and in combination with an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, cemiplimab, in patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas. The trial is open in the United States and planned to open in Australia in 2H2024; visit clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06022029) for more details. ONM-501 development has been supported in part by a grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.
