Arcus Biosciences to Present New Data for Anti-TIGIT Domvanalimab Plus Zimberelimab at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Annual Meeting

  • Data, including overall survival, from ARC-10, a randomized study evaluating domvanalimab plus zimberelimab in front-line, PD-L1-high, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), will be presented in a late-breaking poster presentation
  • An oral presentation will highlight data from an Investigator Sponsored Trial for domvanalimab and zimberelimab in anti-PD-1 refractory hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating further proof of concept for the Fc-silent anti-TIGIT antibody domvanalimab
  • Arcus will discuss the ARC-10 results in more detail on its earnings call at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET on Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Arcus Biosciences, Inc. (NYSE: RCUS), a clinical-stage, global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing differentiated molecules and combination therapies for patients with cancer, today announced four accepted abstracts at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting, taking place in Houston, Texas, November 6 – 10, 2024.

A late-breaking poster presented by Melissa L. Johnson, M.D., director, lung cancer research, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, will highlight safety and efficacy data, including objective response rate, progression-free survival and overall survival from ARC-10. This study is a randomized, open-label, three-arm study evaluating domvanalimab, an Fc-silent anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody, plus zimberelimab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, versus zimberelimab or chemotherapy, in patients with front-line locally advanced or metastatic squamous or non-squamous NSCLC with a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of ≥50% without the presence of any tumor genomic aberration or driver mutation for which a targeted therapy is approved. ARC-10 was initially initiated and conducted as a randomized Phase 3 trial; the protocol was subsequently amended to evaluate domvanalimab plus zimberelimab versus pembrolizumab. The study was conducted in partnership with Gilead Sciences.

“The ARC-10 late-breaking poster will include the first overall survival results to be reported for the combination of domvanalimab and zimberelimab, and further build on the evidence that an Fc-silent anti-TIGIT antibody may provide differentiated efficacy and safety relative to the Fc-enabled anti-TIGIT antibodies,” said Terry Rosen, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Arcus.
