BI-1808 and BI-1206 are BioInvent's two lead programs in a broad pipeline of first- or best-in-class immunomodulatory antibodies for the treatment of cancer:
- BI-1808, an anti-TNFR2 antibody, showing promising single-agent efficacy in an ongoing Phase 1/2a trial as a single agent as well as in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with advanced malignancies.
- BI-1206, an anti-FcyRIIB antibody, currently being evaluated in two Phase 1/2a trials: in combination with rituximab for patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with solid tumors. Recently disclosed data for BI-1206 show long-lasting responses in heavily pre-treated patients.
The event will include an overview of the company's development strategy and highlight upcoming rich news flow for the rest of 2024.
