Slide 3: Eftilagimod alpha (efti): Innovative LAG-3 I-O Product Candidate
Eftilagimod alpha (efti) Innovative LAG-3 I-O Product Candidate • Efti is a soluble LAG-3 protein targeting a subset of MHC class II on APC • Potentially synergistic with other therapeutic agents, e.g. I-O agents or chemotherapies “PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ON IMMUNE RESPONSES” “RELEASING THE BRAKE ON
Slide 4: Eftilagimod alpha (efti): Mechanism of Action (MoA)
Eftilagimod alpha (efti): a soluble LAG-3 protein Mechanism of Action (MoA) Efti’s unique agonistic MoA leads to T cell expansion and proliferation → pushing the gas on the immune response Efti binds to MHC class II on monocytes DC/ monocyte activation induced Leads to T cell expansion and prolifera
Slide 5: TACTI-002 Rationale for combination with PD-1 antagonist
eftilagimod alpha TACTI-002 Rationale combination eftilagimod alpha plus PD-1 antagonist (e.g. pembrolizumab) → Efti increases peripheral monocyte counts in cancer patients Melanoma → Baseline innate immunity status seems to be important for the response (OS) to pembrolizumab → Data suggests that lo
