Teon Therapeutics Entered into a Clinical Trial Collaboration with Merck to Evaluate TT-816 + Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for Solid Tumors
Shots:
- The companies collaborated to evaluate TT-816 (CB2 receptor antagonist) as monotx. or in combination with Merck’s Keytruda (anti-PD-1 therapy) in an ongoing P-I/II dose escalation & expansion study in ~200 patients who have not responded to SoC & with limited treatment options
- The P-I study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary clinical activity and determine a recommended dose of TT-816 & the P-II study will assess safety & preliminary efficacy
- Preclinical research revealed that TT-816 has distinct MoA that boosts T cell & NK cell antitumor immunity, prevents broad-based T cell exhaustion, synergizes antitumor effects with current immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies & encourages T cell infiltration into solid tumors
