Title: An Engineered Ligand-Trap Biologic Targeting the CD47 Signaling Pathway for Cancer Treatment with Superb Efficacy and Safety Profiles
Presenter: Sean Juo, Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer of HanchorBio
Location: Palexpo, Geneva, Switzerland
Presentation Number: #10951
Date and Time: Thursday, 7 December 2023 at 12:00-13:00 CET
Highlights from the Preclinical Data-
Key findings from the preclinical studies of HCB101 targeting the SIRPa- CD47 pathway include:
- HCB101 triggered strong phagocytic reactions against tumor cells but not red blood cells;
- HCB101 consistently showed excellent efficacy against hematological and solid malignancies in 14 human tumor xenograft models;
- Quantitative RNA transcriptional analysis indicated that HCB101 triggered drastic changes in gene expression inside the tumor compared to other competing molecules, suggesting a unique MOA underlying HCB101's superior efficacy;
- No adverse reaction was observed in cynomolgus monkey toxicology studies, indicating a good safety profile;
- HCB101 is currently being evaluated in a multi-regional, multi-center clinical study (NCT05892718) in the United States and Taiwan.
About HCB101
Discovered through structure-guided protein design which was further supplemented with relevant screening technologies, HCB101 is an engineered extracellular IgV domain of SIRPα fused to the Fc region of IgG4. HCB101 triggers potent phagocytic activity of macrophages by blocking the "do not eat" signal between macrophages and the tumor cells. Based on the extensive in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical data, HCB101 is potentially a much safer and more potent biologic than the anti-CD47 monoclonal antibodies and other SIRPα fusion proteins currently being investigated in clinical trials. Furthermore, quantitative RNA transcriptional analysis indicated that HCB101 triggered distinct gene expression profiles inside the tumor and in the tumor microenvironment compared to other relevant clinical candidates, suggesting that HCB101 might exhibit unique mechanisms of action. With IND clearance from the U.S. FDA and Taiwan FDA, HCB101 is currently being investigated in a multi-regional, multi-center, open-label, dose-finding clinical trial (NCT05892718) of adults with advanced solid tumors or relapsed and refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the United States and Taiwan. Using HCB101 as the foundation, our multi-functional Fc-based designer biologics (FBDB™) platform pipeline includes other immune-modulating molecules targeting both adaptive and innate immunity to provide novel and efficacious treatments to patients suffering from difficult-to-treat cancers and other debilitating diseases.

OMP Extends UnisonIQ with Agent Library and Agent Studio: AI Agents that Produce Executable Supply Chain Plans3.11.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
ANTWERPEN, BE / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / OMP, a leader in supply chain orchestration, today extended UnisonIQ, the AI framework in its Unison Planning™ platform, with the Agent Library of ready-to-deploy AI agents and Agent Studio, where companies build their own. The agents run on the optimization engines in Unison Planning™ and produce executable supply chain plans. Bekaert is among the early adopters of UnisonIQ. Supply chain organizations face board-level pressure to show progress on AI, but many struggle to move beyond experiments. Generic AI models and decision-intelligence tools miss the industry-specific context and semantics that planning depends on, while planning tools with an AI layer on top lack reasoning depth. Both can produce a confident answer that ignores real-world constraints such as shelf life, co-products, and shared capacity. In UnisonIQ, by contrast, each agent works from a reality-based digital twin of the customer's own supply chain and calls on th
Fermi Provides Update on Lease Agreement as Parties Work Toward Closing3.11.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release

IXOPAY Announces IXO One, a Modular Payments Platform Built for an Era of Fluid Commerce3.11.2026 10:00:00 CET | Press release
DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / IXOPAY, the leader in payment infrastructure enabling fluid commerce, today announced the launch of IXO One, an AI-native, modular payment platform that unifies orchestration, payments intelligence, and tokenization. It gives merchants the flexibility to buy what they need, build what they want, and adapt as commerce evolves. Built to power an era of fluid commerce and technology-driven payment experiences, IXO One provides the dynamic infrastructure needed to adapt quickly without ripping out or replacing their current payment stack. Traditional payment infrastructure makes it difficult for merchants to embrace fluid commerce and a rapidly changing payment market. From fragmented systems to rigid provider relationships, a new opportunity can require a heavy integration lift, slow time-to-market, and increased costs. IXO One's modular platform helps merchants mitigate the payment friction that leads to provider dependency, expensive mig
