Coherus Oncology: Tagmokitug Shows 75% ORR in First-Line ESCC Trial

AI Summary

Coherus Oncology announced interim clinical data from the TREGCHECK™ development program evaluating tagmokitug in combination with toripalimab. The data showed encouraging anti-tumor activity across multiple solid tumors, particularly in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In first-line ESCC, the combination demonstrated a 75% confirmed overall response rate (cORR) irrespective of PD-L1 status, increasing to 89% post-data cutoff. Second-line ESCC also showed durable clinical benefit. The company plans to expand enrollment in ESCC cohorts based on these positive interim findings and a manageable safety profile.

Key Highlights

  • First-line ESCC: 75% cORR (all comers), 100% cORR (PD-L1 positive) with tagmokitug + toripalimab + chemo.
  • Post-data-cutoff cORR for first-line ESCC increased to 89% (8/9 evaluable patients).
  • Second-line ESCC (700mg arm): 16.7% cORR and 5.5 months mPFS with tagmokitug + toripalimab.
  • 2L Upper GI (700mg arm): 23.5% cORR in EAC patients with tagmokitug + toripalimab.
  • Tagmokitug demonstrated a manageable safety profile across the TREGCHECK™ program.
  • Coherus plans to expand enrollment in first-line and second-line ESCC cohorts.
