Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Anti-Tumor Activity of AB-201

Summary

HER2 is highly expressed on the surface of several cancer types, including breast and gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers. Several commercially available HER2-directed oncology therapies exist; however, most patients who initially derive meaningful clinical benefit from these agents eventually relapse or experience disease progression. Accordingly, the development of safe and effective treatments for patients who have exhausted current HER2-directed options remains an important unmet medical need. AB-201 has demonstrated direct, HER2-specific, and potent cytotoxicity against multiple tumor cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, AB-201 has shown the ability to secrete cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ), upon activation. Based on this emerging HER2-targeted cell therapy dataset, a HER2 CAR-NK therapy such as AB-201 may offer a safe, active, and readily available treatment option for patients with HER2-positive solid tumors. This clinical trial will enroll subjects with HER2-positive gastric/GEJ cancers. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AB-201 in subjects with advanced HER2-positive gastric/GEJ cancers. The secondary objective is to assess the preliminary efficacy of AB-201, measured by objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1, in subjects with advanced gastric/GEJ cancers.
