Affimed Reports First Patient Dosing of AFM28 in the P-I Study for the Treatment of CD123-Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Shots:

  • The first patient has been dosed in a P-I open-label, first-in-human dose escalation study (AFM28-101) evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK & PD of AFM28 monotx. in patients with CD123+ r/r AML
  • The purpose of the study is to establish the MTD & one or more RP2D. Additionally, NK cells are efficiently directed by AFM28 to CD123+ leukemic cells, incl. blasts & leukemic stem & progenitor cells resulting in their depletion in samples from patients with AML & MDS
  • AFM28 is a tetravalent bispecific CD123- and CD16A-binding innate cell engager (ICE) that has been developed from Affimed’s Redirected Optimized Cell Killing platform. The company also plans to develop AFM28 in combination with allogeneic NK cell therapy
