- SAR’579/IPH6101, ANKET® platform lead asset, is a trifunctional anti-CD123 NKp46×CD16 NK cell engager from a joint research collaboration between Innate Pharma and Sanofi, now under development by partner Sanofi
- Preliminary data published show SAR’579 was well tolerated and induced 3 complete responses in the 8 patients at 1 mg/kg as highest dose
- Phase 1/2 data will be presented as an oral presentation at the ASCO 2023 Annual Meeting
- The study will now progress to the expansion phase
MARSEILLE, France I May 26, 2023 I Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) (“Innate” or the “Company”) announced today that the abstract entitled “A first-in-human study of CD123 NK Cell Engager SAR443579 in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or high risk-myelodysplasia” was published on the ASCO 2023 Annual Meeting website. The abstract concludes that SAR’579, in development by Sanofi, was well tolerated up to doses of 3 mg/kg QW with observed clinical benefit in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (R/R AML).
“We are very pleased to see in this dose escalation Phase 1/2 update reported by Sanofi, the first clinical responses and good tolerability for SAR’579/IPH6101 targeting CD123 in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia,” said Mondher Mahjoubi, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma. “Although the data are preliminary, the clinical data from SAR’579 are encouraging, and we look forward to the full presentation of this trial at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting, as well as further updates as other assets of our ANKET® platform enter the clinic.”
“The NK cell engager SAR’579, targeting CD123 is a remarkably designed investigational drug based on the ANKET® platform and the result of a strong partnership between Sanofi and Innate scientists,” adds Valeria Fantin, Global Head of Oncology Research at Sanofi.
“It is exciting to see these early clinical results at the 2023 ASCO meeting,” said Peter. C. Adamson, MD, Global Head, Oncology Development at Sanofi. “We look forward to the continued development of SAR’579 and are thankful to the investigators leading the clinical effort and the patients/families who have volunteered to participate in this trial.”
