Updated Phase 1 Clinical Data for SYS-6002 (CRB-701) to be presented at 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting

NORWOOD, Mass., May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBP) (“Corbus” or the “Company”) announced today that the abstract [No. 3151] for a poster presentation at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting being held from May 31-June 4, 2024 in Chicago has been released. The ASCO abstract is titled: Clinical Update Related to the First-In-Human Trial of SYS6002 (CRB-701), A Next-Generation Nectin-4 Targeting Antibody Drug Conjugate and will be presented as a poster [#296] on June 1, 2024 from 9:00 AM -12:00 PM by Dr. Jian Zhang, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.

The poster will update data contained in the abstract [cut-off mid-January 2024] with approximately 3 months additional clinical data [cut-off end of April 2024] from dose escalation and PK cohorts. Dose escalation spans 7 dose levels (0.2, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.7, 3.6 & 4.5 mg/kg) and makes use of a Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design with accelerated titration. PK cohorts have been initiated at the 2.7mg/Kg & 3.6mg/Kg dose levels. The trial is evaluating the safety and tolerability of SYS6002 (CRB-701) to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or the Phase 2 dose in patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed or were intolerant to standard treatment. Patients were enrolled based on Nectin-4 staining, with the exception of metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) urothelial cancer patients, who were considered to be Nectin-4 positive. Beyond determining safety and tolerability, the pharmacokinetic (PK) and preliminarily anti-tumor activity of SYS6002 (CRB-701) are reported. This study is being conducted by Corbus’s partner CSPC in China. Corbus has commenced a Phase 1 dose escalation study in the U.S. and dosed the first patient in April 2024.

About CRB-701
CRB-701 (SYS6002) is a next-generation antibody drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Nectin-4 with a site-specific cleavable linker and a homogenous drug antibody ratio of 2, using MMAE as the payload. Nectin-4 is a clinically validated, tumor-associated antigen in urothelial cancer. SYS6002 (CRB-701) is currently being explored in a dose escalation on a Q3W schedule, with a view to reducing free-MMAE concentrations in plasma, reducing the associated toxicities that are known to dose limit the Nectin-4 ADC PADCEV® (enfortumab vedotin) Additionally, by administering SYS6002 (CRB-701) on a Q3W schedule there is an opportunity to increase clinical convenience and patient compliance.
