Janux Therapeutics to Host Virtual Event Discussing Updated Clinical Data for PSMA-TRACTr JANX007 and EGFR-TRACTr JANX008
Specifically, the company will provide clinical efficacy and safety updates to report on progress towards identifying doses for expansion studies with JANX007, and on early dose escalation data for JANX008.
Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: JANX) (Janux), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a broad pipeline of novel immunotherapies by applying its proprietary technology to its Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr) and Tumor Activated Immunomodulator (TRACIr) platforms, today announced it will host a virtual event discussing updated clinical data for PSMA-TRACTr JANX007 and EGFR-TRACTr JANX008 on Monday, February 26th, 2024, at 4:30PM ET.
David Campbell, Ph.D., President & Chief Executive Officer will discuss interim clinical updates for JANX007, a TRACTr that targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and is being investigated in a Phase 1 dose escalation clinical trial in adult subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and JANX008, a TRACTr that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and is being investigated in a Phase 1 dose escalation clinical trial in adult subjects with non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Specifically, the company will provide clinical efficacy and safety updates to report on progress towards identifying doses for expansion studies with JANX007, and on early dose escalation data for JANX008.
The company anticipates providing an update on identifying doses to be evaluated in expansion cohorts for JANX007 in 2H 2024.
A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. To register for the event, please click here.
Janux’s TRACTr and TRACIr Pipeline
Janux’s first clinical candidate, JANX007, is a TRACTr that targets PSMA and is being investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in adult subjects with mCRPC. Janux’s second clinical candidate, JANX008, is a TRACTr that targets EGFR and is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of multiple solid cancers including non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Janux is also applying its proprietary technology to develop a TRACTr designed to target TROP2, a clinically validated anti-tumor target that is overexpressed in various cancer types, such as breast, lung, urothelial, endometrial, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, gastric, colon, head and neck, and glioma. Janux’s TRACIr drug candidate, JANX009, is designed for targeting both the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) receptor as well as the costimulatory CD28 receptor on T cells for the treatment of solid tumors. In addition to named programs, Janux is generating a number of unnamed TRACTr and TRACIr programs for potential future development.
About Janux Therapeutics
Janux is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing tumor-activated immunotherapies for cancer. Janux’s proprietary technology enabled the development of two distinct bispecific platforms: TRACTr and TRACIr. The goal of both platforms is to provide cancer patients with safe and effective therapeutics that direct and guide their immune system to eradicate tumors while minimizing safety concerns. Janux is currently developing a broad pipeline of TRACTr and TRACIr therapeutics directed at several targets to treat solid tumors. Janux has two TRACTr therapeutic candidates in clinical trials, the first targeting PSMA is in development for prostate cancer, and the second targeting EGFR is being developed for colorectal, lung, head and neck, and renal cancers.
