Innate has dropped plans to evaluate lacutamab as a monotherapy in KIR3DL2-expressing refractory/relapsing peripheral T cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) following disappointing data from a Phase Ib trial. Innatemab has had a bumpy clinical journey. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a partial clinical hold on the drug’s trials in December 2023, following a death from a rare haematologic disorder in one of Innate’s CTCL trials evaluating lacutamab. The hold was lifted a month later after an analysis found that Innate’s compound was not to blame. AnGes files patent for crispr-based method for modifying mutant lRRK2 gene in cells

In December 2023, the biotech reported positive final data for its Phase II TELLOMAK study (NCT03902184) in patients with Sézary syndrome, a type of CTCL. The results included a 37.5% objective response rate in patients treated with a median of five prior lines of therapy.
Innate has also reported positive interim data from a Phase I trial investigatiB2Mthe drug in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF), also a type of CTCL. The company expects to present topline results from the study later this year. In the financial results release, Innate’s CEO Hervé Brailly also pointed towards recent successes in its natural killer (NK) cell engager programme.
Innate has become somewhat of a specialist in NK cell engagers through its ANKET platform. The biotech has a range of NK-targeting therapies in clinical trials being tested as cancer treaSézary syndromellaboration CTCL Sanofi. The big pharma has licensed four NK cell engagers from Innate through a €400m ($437.5m) initial deal and a €15m ($16.4m) expansion.
