NeoImmuneTech to Show Significant Advances on NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) at 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting

Poster discussion will highlight anti-tumor activities of NT-I7 combined with pembrolizumab in heavily pretreated patients for whom checkpoint inhibitors are usually ineffective


ROCKVILLE, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 27, 2022–NeoImmuneTech, Inc. (NIT or “NeoImmuneTech”), a clinical-stage T cell-focused biopharmaceutical company, today announced it will present new clinical data for its lead asset NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) across three presentations at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, to be held in Chicago, June 3-7, 2022. These include one poster discussion and two poster displays.

Dr. Se Hwan Yang, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of NeoImmuneTech said: “We are pleased that the ASCO Scientific Program Committee selected our abstract on the efficacy and safety of NT-I7 in combination with pembrolizumab for a poster discussion. While the abstract was based on data cutoff as of January 14, 2022, the actual Phase 2a data presented and discussed at the congress will have a few additional months of follow-up. They will shed new light on the benefit of combining NT-I7 with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) in patients with immune-cold microsatellite stable colorectal cancer or pancreatic cancer and in those who progressed on previous CPI treatment. We are also excited to report progress made with NT-I7 administration after CAR-T infusion, another important area of potential NT-I7 use.”

About NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) (rhIL-7-hyFc)
NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7, and is being developed in oncologic and immunologic indications, where T cell amplification and increased functionality may provide clinical benefit. IL-7 is a fundamental cytokine for naïve and memory T cell development and for sustaining immune response to chronic antigens (as in cancer) or foreign antigens (as in infectious diseases). NT-I7 exhibits favorable PK/PD and safety profiles, making it an ideal combination partner. NT-I7 is being studied in multiple clinical trials in solid tumors and as vaccine adjuvant. Studies are being planned for testing in hematologic malignancies, additional solid tumors and other immunology-focused indications.
