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.

Professional Services Firms Bet Big on AI but Skills Gaps Are Holding Them Back, General Assembly Survey Finds24.3.2026 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Most firms have had to abandon at least one AI initiative due to a lack of skills in the past year NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 24, 2026 / Most professional services firms (61%) have had to abandon at least one AI initiative in the past year due to a lack of internal skills, with more than a third (35%) abandoning multiple initiatives, according to new research from General Assembly, the global leader in practical AI skills training and an LHH company. "Professional services firms face a capability paradox," said Ash Khanna, Head of Professional Services at General Assembly. "AI can accelerate output, but it can't replace the judgment that comes from doing the hard work. We're seeing junior talent generate recommendations faster than ever, but struggle to defend the reasoning behind them. Firms must invest in the durable human skills that make AI output credible and defensible. Upskilling can't be an afterthought; it has to be as central to a firm's AI strategy as the technol

IXOPAY and Zip US Introduce Unified Trust Layer Framework to Help Merchants Reduce Risk in Agentic Commerce24.3.2026 11:00:00 CET | Press release
Open, Collaborative Initiative to Establish Identity, Preserve Intent, and Make Trust Measurable in AI-Initiated Commerce LEHI, UT AND NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 24, 2026 / IXOPAY, the enterprise-grade global payment infrastructure platform built for the era of agentic commerce, and Zip, the digital financial services company offering innovative, people-centred products, today announced a joint initiative to define a Unified Trust Layer - an open industry framework designed to address emerging trust and liability challenges in agent-initiated commerce and payments. Agentic commerce introduces a structural shift in payments. Traditional infrastructure was built around a four-party risk model - consumer, merchant, issuing bank, and acquiring bank - with the assumption that a human initiated the transaction. As AI agents begin acting autonomously, that model no longer holds. Payment systems were not designed to consistently preserve identity, intent, and context in a machine-v
