CAMBRIDGE, MA – April 7, 2024 – HiFiBiO Therapeutics, a leading clinical stage global biotechnology company committed to advancing patient outcomes through single-cell precision, presented two posters at the AACR 2024 meeting held on April 5-10, 2024, in San Diego, CA.
“One of the major challenges cancer immunotherapies face is the difficulties in selecting patients with tumors that will respond. Single-cell technologies can provide valuable insights into disease biology and help discern tumors that are more likely to respond; however, the lack of integrated data across diverse single-cell platforms hinders the potential of these novel technologies to inform clinical decisions.” Jack Russella-Pollard, Ph.D., Executive Director, Translational Data Science, commented, “HiFiBiO has built an AI/ML powered curation and data integration process within our Drug Intelligence Science (DIS®) translational platform that integrates publicly available datasets with in-house generated datasets to predict tumor response and guide target as well as indication selection.”
Jinping Gan, Ph.D., Vice President, Global Head of Research, remarked: “Currently, there is no suitable model to describe complex tumor-immune interactions that can effectively guide clinical decisions. HiFiBiO has successfully constructed semi-mechanistic PKPD models for an anti-TNFR2 agonist and an anti-OX40 agonist that advocate for pulsatile agonism to achieve optimal anti-tumor efficacy. This innovative scientific work serves as a valuable tool for guiding dose and dose regimen optimization for the humanized versions of these T cell co-stimulatory agonists in clinical development.”
By harnessing these cutting-edge technologies and tools within its DIS® platform, HiFiBiO Therapeutics is steering the development of its drug candidates, including three antibodies currently undergoing Phase 1 evaluation: a first-in-class TNFR2 agonist (HFB200301, NCT05238883), a next-generation OX40 agonist (HFB301001, NCT05229601), and a best-in-class BTLA antagonist (HFB200603, NCT05789069).
These presentations underscore HiFiBiO Therapeutics’ unwavering commitment to innovation and its relentless pursuit of novel therapeutic solutions to address unmet medical needs.
