MOLECULAR TEMPLATES, INC. Molecular Templates, Inc. announced the presentation of a poster at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”) Annual Meeting, taking place June 2-6, 2023 in Chicago, IL. One-on-one meetings may be scheduled directly with Molecular Templates. The poster will highlight interim efficacy and safety data on MT-6402, MTEM's ETB program designed to activate T-cells through direct cell-kill of immunosuppressive PD-L1+ immune cells.
MT-6402 can also deliver and induce the presentation of an MHC class I CMV antigen on tumor cells (antigen seeding mechanism of action) for pre-existing CD8 T-cell recognition and destruction in HLA-A*02/CMV+ patients with high PD-L1 expression on their tumors. MT-6402 continues to demonstrate pharmacodynamic effects and monotherapy activity in heavily pre-treated checkpoint therapy experienced patients. To date, no instances of capillary leak syndrome or other manifestations of innate immunity have been observed with any next-generation ETB.
