BRISBANE, CALIFORNIA, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GT Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company” or “GTB”) (NASDAQ: GTBP), a clinical stage immuno-oncology company focused on developing innovative therapeutics based on the Company’s proprietary natural killer (NK) cell engager, TriKE® platform, will present two poster presentations at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s 37th Annual Meeting (SITC 2022), to be held in Boston, Massachusetts and virtually on November 8-12, 2022. The two posters highlight tri-specific killer engagers for the treatment of mesothelioma and prostate cancer.
“We are pleased with the progress that has been made in assessing the broad applicability of our novel TriKE platform across solid tumors” said Michael Breen, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of GT Biopharma. “Our TriKE structure consisting of an anti-CD16 nanobody which binds to NK cells and triggers antibody directed cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), IL-15 cross-linker that binds to NK cells inducing self-sustaining expansion and extended survival and an anti-tumor associated antigen which binds to well-known tumor antigens. The TriKE modular platform allows for targeting multiple tumor-associated antigens. As such, we remain excited in our progress to date while looking forward to submitting an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in 2023 for lead assets GTB-3650 targeting CD33 positive tumors and GTB-5550 targeting B7H3 positive tumors, respectively.”
Presentation Highlights:
Abstract #1202: Tri-specific killer engagers target natural killer cells towards mesothelioma
Presenter: Martin Felices
Date: November 11, 2022
Location and time: Poster Hall from 9:00am – 8:30pm ET
Conclusion: GTB-5550 drove NK cell responses towards all mesothelioma subtypes, while cam1615SS1 successfully targeted epithelial peritoneal mesothelioma. In future pre-clinical studies, a goal will be to combine a TriKE with immune checkpoint inhibitors to test their potential to drive innate immune responses in the context of currently approved therapies.
Abstract #1204: Enhancing NK cell function in the ‘cold’ tumor microenvironment of prostate cancer with a novel Tri-specific Killer Engager against prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)
Presenter: Gwen Phung
Date: November 11, 2022
Location and time: Poster Hall from 9:00am – 8:30pm ET
Conclusion: PSMA TriKE induces specific NK cell proliferation and activation against PSMA+ tumor cells. TriKE robustly relieves NK cells from suppression induced by hypoxia and MDSCs.
