Presentations and publications address novel therapeutics, molecular biology studies, and global trends for blood cancers and solid tumors HACKENSACK, N.J., May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Investigators from Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center (JTCC)—part of the National Cancer Institute-designated Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University—and Hackensack University Medical Center are reporting research findings from 32 studies at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The meeting is the premier event for cancer professionals and takes place in Chicago from May 30 to June 3. "The future of cancer treatment begins with the pioneering exploration being carried out today," notes Andre Goy, MD, chair, vice president, physician-in-chief of oncology, at Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center. "We are fortunate to be in a time where many cancers will respond to standard treatments. But for those cancers that don't, it's critical that patients have access to a world-class research program that will yield innovative therapies. At John Theurer Cancer Center, our globally recognized investigators continue to drive the latest oncology advances in cellular therapy, immunotherapy and other areas, enabling improved outcomes for patients across the Hackensack Meridian Health network and beyond." Several studies address novel drug combinations for multiple myeloma, as well as racial disparities in treatment outcomes and the expression of key biomarkers. Investigators are also presenting data on emerging immunotherapies for leukemia and lymphoma, molecular markers predicting disease relapse, and innovative treatment regimens such as all-oral therapies for acute myeloid leukemia. Solid tumor studies focus on disparities in gastric cancer, machine learning applications for breast cancer metastasis, and promising antibody-drug conjugates for lung cancer. Investigations related to melanoma and skin cancer examine circulating tumor DNA as a marker for disease progression, comparative survival analyses based on biomarkers, and the identification of targetable mutations across different skin cancer types. These findings underscore the breadth of ongoing efforts at John Theurer Cancer Center—New Jersey's largest cancer center—to refine therapeutic strategies, enhance precision oncology, and improve patient outcomes.

· BI 765063 in combination with programmed cell death-1 (PD1) inhibitor antibody ezabenlimab + cetuximab demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile and potentially promising efficacy signals as second-line treatment in patients with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). · Next generation SIRP α inhibitor BI 770371 was shown to be well tolerated alone and in combination with PD1 inhibitor ezabenlimab in a dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors. BI 770371 is currently being further investigated in a Phase 1b study in first-line patients with R/M HNSCC. Ingelheim, Germany, 22 May 2025 – Boehringer Ingelheim today announced that new clinical data from two early-stage trials targeting the signal regulatory protein α (SIRP α ) innate immune checkpoint will be presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, May 30 - June 3, 2025, in Chicago, IL, USA. In a Phase 1b study conducted by Boehringer, its potential, first-in-class SIRP α monoclonal antibody, BI 765063, demonstrated a manageable safety profile as well as preliminary signs of immune activation and additive antitumor activity when combined with PD-1 inhibitor ezabenlimab and cetuximab in patients with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). [1] Additionally, in an open-label, Phase I trial conducted by Boehringer, its next-generation SIRP α monoclonal antibody, BI 770371, alone and in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor ezabenlimab, was shown to be well tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumors. There were no dose-limiting toxicities in either treatment arm, and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached in either group. [2] “The preliminary results from these early-stage programs are encouraging and further strengthen Boehringer’s robust immuno-oncology pipeline aimed at accelerating next-generation cancer therapies to address high unmet patient needs,” said Mike Akimov, Head of Medicine, Therapy Area Oncology at Boehringer Ingelheim. “Boehringer is developing various complementary approaches to activate the immune system against cancer cells and SIRP α blockade paired with a PD-1 inhibitor is a promising strategy. We look forward to seeing if this dual activation may lead to a broader and more sustained anti-tumor response as the programs progress. ” BI 765063 and BI 770371 are designed to block the “don’t eat me” signal that cancer cells use to hide from the immune system. By targeting SIRP α , these antibodies help immune cells like macrophages recognize and destroy tumor cells, bolstering the body’s natural defenses. [3] Both antibodies have been developed in partnership with OSE, with Boehringer solely responsible for future clinical development and commercialization. Boehringer will move forward with the improved next generation SIRP α inhibitor antibody BI 770371, which will now be tested in a Phase 1b study.
