NextCure Reports Preclinical Data for LNCB74 and Additional Clinical Biomarker Data for NC410 Combo at Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Annual Meeting
NextCure (NXTC) presented preclinical data for LNCB74, a B7-H4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), and additional biomarker data for NC410 combination therapy at SITC. LNCB74 showed promising results with strong anti-tumor activity in multiple tumor models and favorable safety profile, with IND filing expected by year-end. The NC410/pembrolizumab combination demonstrated clinical activity in MSS/MSI-L colorectal cancer patients, achieving 3 partial responses among 43 evaluable patients and disease control rates of 86% and 47% at 200mg and 100mg doses, respectively. Biomarker data supported NC410's mechanism of action in remodeling tumor microenvironment.
