BI-1206 is a Potential Treatment for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Solid Tumors
BioInvent International AB ("BioInvent") (Nasdaq Stockholm: BINV), a biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel and first-in-class immune-modulatory antibodies for cancer immunotherapy, today announced that it will host a key opinion leader (KOL) webinar on BI-1206, a potential treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and solid tumors, on Friday, December 17, 2021 at 1:00pmET/7:00pmCET.
The webcast will feature KOL Michael Wang, M.D., from the MD Anderson Cancer Center, who will discuss the current treatment landscape and unmet medical need in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).
BioInvent's management team will provide an update on the ongoing BI-1206 clinical studies for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and solid tumors, including an overview of the NHL data presented at ASH on December 11.
BI-1206 is BioInvent's lead drug candidate and is currently being investigated in two trials. One is evaluating the BI-1206 combination with rituximab for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and the other evaluates BI-1206 in combination with anti-PD1 therapy Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) in solid tumors.
BI-1206 is a monoclonal antibody that selectivity binds to FcγRIIB (CD32B). By blocking FcγRIIB, BI-1206 can recover and enhance the activity of rituximab or other anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of NHL. In addition, BI-1206 has the potential to reduce resistance to PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade, providing a new way to enhance anti-tumor immune responses in patients with solid tumors.
