Medigene to Present at Upcoming Scientific Conferences
Medigene AG (Medigene or the “Company”, FSE: MDG1, Prime Standard), an immuno-oncology platform company focusing on the discovery and development of T cell immunotherapies for solid tumors, has been invited to present at the CHI's 8^th Annual Immuno-Oncology Summit Europe from April 23-25, 2024, in London, UK, as well as at the 7^th International Neoantigen Summit to be held in Amsterdam, Netherlands from April 29 - May 1, 2024.
The presentations will be available on Medigene´s website after the conferences: https://medigene.com/science/abstracts/
*Oral presentation:*
*CHI's 8th Annual Immuno-Oncology Summit Europe 2024
*https://www.immuno-oncologyeurope.com/
Location: Hilton London Canary Wharf, London
Date and time: April 25, 2024, 13:15 – 13:45 pm local time
Presenter: Kirsty Crame, MD, VP Clinical Strategy & Development
Session: Novel approaches targeting solid tumors
Title: *Medigene's MDG1015, a Third-Generation TCR-T Therapy Incorporating the PD1-41BB Costimulatory Switch Protein, Advancing to the Clinic*
The work to be presented will highlight the Company’s lead candidate MDG1015, a first-in-class, third generation T cell receptor engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapy targeting NY-ESO-1/ LAGE-1a (New York oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 / L Antigen Family Member-1a), armored and enhanced with the PD1-41BB costimulatory switch protein (CSP). A first-in-human trial for MDG1015 is planned for gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma and synovial sarcoma with IND/CTA filing targeted for 2H 2024.
*Oral presentation:*
*7th International Neoantigen Summit 2024
*https://neoantigen-summit.com/
Location: Hotel Novotel Amsterdam City, Amsterdam*
*Date and time: May 1, 2024, 12:00 – 12:30 pm local time
Presenter: Dr. Giulia Longinotti, Director TCR Discovery Platform
Session: Illuminating Shared Neoantigen Therapies to Induce More Durable & Robust Immunity in a Larger Patient Population
Title: *KRAS Mutation-Specific TCR-T Cells are Empowered for Improved Multi-Functionality & Durability by Inclusion of a Costimulatory Switch Protein*
Dr. Longinotti will summarize the generation process of optimal affinity 3S (sensitive, specific and safe) TCRs targeting various Kirsten rat sarcoma virus specific mutations (mKRAS), armored and enhanced with the PD1-41BB CSP. In vitro data will showcase how armoring tools such as the PD1-41BB CSP can enhance TCR-T cell functionality, and will also illustrate how the composition of the drug product can be optimized for safety, efficacy and durability.
