Phase I trial in patients with relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Boston Immune Technologies and Therapeutics, Inc. (BITT), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel tumor necrosis factor superfamily receptor (TNFSR) antagonist antibodies, announced today that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared BITT’s Investigational New Drug application (IND) for a Phase I trial of BITT2101 (anti-TNFR2) in patients with relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. “We are excited to have approval to bring our lead antibody into clinical trials,” said Russell LaMontagne, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BITT. “This is the first antibody from BITT’s TNF Superfamily platform to enter the clinic and the first opportunity to demonstrate the novelty and utility of our proprietary dominant antagonist antibodies.” BITT’s Phase I, first-in-human, multi-center trial will be an open-label study of escalating doses of BITT2101 in Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma subgroups including cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), primary cutaneous peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL), adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). “The elevated levels of soluble TNFR2 (sTNFR2) in these lymphoma subtypes suggest that TNFR2 may play a significant role in progression and response to first line therapy. As the escalation arm progresses, we are actively exploring validation of sTNFR2 in multiple cancers including solid tumors for potential expansion arms,” added LaMontagne.
