IN8bio Announces INB-200 Phase 1 Study Data in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma to be Presented at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting

NEW YORK, May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies, today announced an upcoming presentation of updated results from its fully enrolled Phase 1 study of INB-200 at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, to be held May 31st - June 4th in Chicago, Illinois. INB-200 is evaluating autologous Drug Resistant Immunotherapy (DeltEx DRI) or chemotherapy resistant gamma-delta T cells as a potential first-line treatment for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

“The current standard-of-care for newly diagnosed GBM has not advanced progression-free survival (PFS) beyond 4-7 months or overall survival beyond 14-16 months for over two decades,” said William Ho, CEO and co-founder, IN8bio. “We’re excited to update the status of patients who received INB-200 for front-line GBM in addition to standard-of-care at the upcoming ASCO Annual Meeting. We believe these findings will continue to validate the potential of DeltEx DRI as a novel therapy for patients with GBM. We are advancing our gamma-delta T cell therapy to help address this significant unmet need and look forward to presenting additional trial results at ASCO and throughout the year.”

Abstract: The Phase 1 study enrolled 23 patients with newly diagnosed GBM who exhibited adequate organ function and a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of ≥ 70%. Patients were administered 1, 3, or 6 doses of DeltEx DRI, consisting of 1 x 10⁷ DRI cells, into the resection cavity along with 150 mg/m² of intravenous TMZ on Day 1 and oral TMZ on days 2-5 of each Stupp maintenance cycle.

DeltEx DRI was successfully infused with peripheral TMZ-based lymphodepletion evidenced with near or below normal range T, B, and NK subsets for up to one year. The majority of patients dosed exceeded the expected median PFS of 7 months with Stupp therapy alone, demonstrating a continued encouraging trend in PFS. Long-term follow-up for durability of PFS and OS continue.
