Aakash Desai: New T-cell Engager Showing Promise in DLL3+ Lung and Neuroendocrine Cancers

Aakash Desai, Associate Director of Phase 1 and Precision Oncology Program at UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“New T-cell engager showing promise in DLL3+ lung and neuroendocrine cancers!
Phase 1 results of obrixtamig (BI 764532), a DLL3/CD3 bispecific IgG-like T-cell engager, presented in JCO. Boehringer Ingelheim

This first-in-human study included patients with SCLC, LCNEC, and epNEC, most of whom were heavily pretreated (72% ≥2 prior lines).

Key results from Regimens B2/B3 (step-up followed by target dose):

  •  ORR: 28% overall
  •  LCNEC ORR: 70%
  •  Median DoR: 8.5 months
  •  CRS: Mostly low-grade, early, and reversible
  •  MTD not reached across 168 patients

This data validates DLL3 as a compelling target, and obrixtamig as a potential new therapy in a space with few effective options!”
