• On Wednesday March 29, 2023 at 2.00 pm PST, “Following Patient Outcomes with Circulating Cancer Cell Biomarkers to Determine Response & Efficacy”: virtual talk by Graham Pockley, PhD

• On Wednesday March 29, 2023 at 2.30 pm PST, Panel Discussion on “Sharing a Vision of the Future for Commercial Scale Manufacturing of Innate Immune Cells”: Panel Member/Speaker Robert Brooks, JD

"We are excited to be invited to participate at the 8th Innate Killer Summit. Conference to discuss our novel biomarker, patient outcomes, and commercial scale manufacturing. Our significant contribution demonstrates that Alphageneron is a leading clinical stage biotechnology company in the NK cell therapeutic market," said Robert K. Brooks, JD, CEO.

About Alphageneron

Alphageneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. is developing targeted autologous and allogeneic natural killer cell (‘NK cell’), Chimeric Antigen Receptor (‘CAR’) NK cell, NK Cell Engager, and Antibody Drug Conjugate based cancer therapeutics for a number of indications, all of which are supported by a Companion Diagnostic. The Company’s lead clinical autologous therapy, AP-144™, is a 2nd generation autologous NK cell therapy which involves the ex vivo activation of NK cells that have been expanded from the peripheral blood of patients to recognize and target tumors expressing a membrane form of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) by incubation with an Hsp70-derived peptide (‘TKD’) and low dose IL-2. Membrane Hsp70 is highly expressed by a wide range of cancers, but not by normal cells. The membrane Hsp70 expression status of a patient’s tumor is detected by measuring serum/plasma levels of circulating exosomal Hsp70 using our Companion Diagnostic ELISA, AP-CDx.

An Investigator Initiated IND for a Phase I/IIa Clinical Open Label Combination Trial with its AP-144™, in combination with KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) in patients with metastatic (Stage IV) NSCLC in the United States was filed with the FDA in February 2023. A Phase I clinical trial of our first generation, non-expanded TKD/IL-2 activated autologous NK cell therapy (ENKASTIM™) involving eleven (11) patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and one (1) patient with non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) after standard of care (SOC) in Germany demonstrated safety and signs of efficacy. A Phase IIa (randomized, controlled) clinical trial of ENKASTIM™ involving fourteen (14) patients with advanced (Stage IIIb) NSCLC conducted in Germany demonstrated promising clinical benefit and survival.
