NEW YORK, June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc, (Nasdaq: INDP), a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to pioneering innovative cancer and viral infection treatments, today announced updated data from its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20 in patients with solid tumors. The data were featured in a poster presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting on June 1 in Chicago, Illinois.
Dr. Roger Waltzman, Chief Medical Officer of Indaptus, commented, “Our latest findings presented at ASCO demonstrate that the administration of Decoy20 in study participants at both higher and lower doses significantly induces dozens of cytokines and chemokines, many of which have been associated with innate and/or adaptive immune responses. Additionally, the adverse events associated with Decoy20 are generally lower-grade and transient, which is an improvement compared with traditional approaches using TLR and STING agonists. Given the limited effective treatments available for patients with relapsed advanced solid tumors, the promising results of Decoy20 offer hope for improving the immune response against cancer and potentially expanding treatment options.”
The poster presentation at ASCO included pharmacokinetic and safety data for patients in two single-dose cohorts. Eleven patients have been treated with Decoy20: four in Cohort 1 and seven in Cohort 2. Key findings from the ongoing study include:
Jeffrey Meckler, Indaptus CEO commented, “We are excited by this latest single dose data in our ongoing Phase 1 trial. It gives us confidence that as we dose more patients in the multi-dosing part of the study, we will continue to see immune responses that are consistent with potential anti-tumor activity. We look forward to providing more updates this year.”

About Indaptus Therapeutics
Indaptus Therapeutics has evolved from more than a century of immunotherapy advances. The Company’s novel approach is based on the hypothesis that efficient activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells and pathways and associated anti-tumor and anti-viral immune responses will require a multi-targeted package of immune system-activating signals that can be administered safely intravenously (i.v.). Indaptus’ patented technology is composed of single strains of attenuated and killed, non-pathogenic, Gram-negative bacteria producing a multiple Toll-like receptor (TLR), Nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) and Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist Decoy platform. The product candidates are designed to have reduced i.v. toxicity, but largely uncompromised ability to prime or activate many of the cells and pathways of innate and adaptive immunity. Decoy product candidates represent an antigen-agnostic technology that have produced single-agent activity against metastatic pancreatic and orthotopic colorectal carcinomas, single agent eradication of established antigen-expressing breast carcinoma, as well as combination-mediated eradication of established hepatocellular carcinomas, pancreatic and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in standard pre-clinical models, including syngeneic mouse tumors and human tumor xenografts. In pre-clinical studies tumor eradication was observed with Decoy product candidates in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint therapy, low-dose chemotherapy, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or an approved, targeted antibody. Combination-based tumor eradication in pre-clinical models produced innate and adaptive immunological memory, involved activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells, and was associated with induction of innate and adaptive immune pathways in tumors after only one i.v. dose of Decoy product candidate, with associated “cold” to “hot” tumor inflammation signature transition. IND-enabling, nonclinical toxicology studies demonstrated i.v. administration without sustained induction of hallmark biomarkers of cytokine release syndromes, possibly due to passive targeting to liver, spleen, and tumor, followed by rapid elimination of the product candidate. Indaptus’ Decoy product candidates have also produced meaningful single agent activity against chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in pre-clinical models.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These include statements regarding management’s expectations, beliefs and intentions regarding, among other things: our expectations and plans regarding our Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20, including the timing and design thereof and expected immune responses as we dose more patients in the multi-dosing part of the trial; the anticipated effects of our product candidates, including Decoy20; the plans and objectives of management for future operations; our research and development activities and costs; the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to fund our ongoing activities and our cash management strategy; and our assessment of financing options to support our corporate strategy. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “could”, “might”, “seek”, “target”, “will”, “project”, “forecast”, “continue” or “anticipate” or their negatives or variations of these words or other comparable words or by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical matters.
