    Monotherapy efficacy and safety profile provided backbone for clinical development strategy in 1L combination with nivolumab plus chemotherapy

    ROCKVILLE, MD, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I-Mab (NASDAQ:IMAB) (the Company), a U.S.-based, global biotech company, focused on the development of precision immuno-oncology agents for the treatment of cancer, today announced publication of the first-in-human monotherapy data for givastomig, a bispecific Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB antibody, in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (CCR), and a highly-ranked clinical oncology publication. The CCR paper1 details promising clinical data showing that givastomig monotherapy achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 16% in heavily pretreated Claudin 18.2-positive gastric cancer patients. The publication can be accessed HERE.

    The CCR paper represents the first peer-reviewed manuscript publication of the Phase 1 monotherapy study of givastomig in heavily pre-treated solid tumor patients, after initial presentation of these data in poster form at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congresses in 2023 and 2024. The study evaluated a total of 75 patients with gastric cancers or other solid tumors, including 43 efficacy-evaluable patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal carcinoma (GEC). Claudin 18.2 expression in responders ranged from 11% to 100%, demonstrating the activity of givastomig in tumors with low levels of Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) expression. After the data cutoff, two additional patients were enrolled in the monotherapy study, resulting in an additional confirmed partial response (PR), leading to an increased ORR of 18% (8/45 patients). The Company anticipates sharing an updated monotherapy data set on the 45 patients in the fourth quarter of 2025 at a major medical meeting.

    Monotherapy data indicate that givastomig is well tolerated and demonstrates single-agent activity in heavily pretreated patients. These findings support its development in combination with standard immunochemotherapy (nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6) as a first line (1L) treatment for gastric cancers. Data from the ongoing dose escalation combination study will be presented at a Mini Oral presentation at the ESMO Gastrointestinal (ESMO GI) Cancers Congress 2025 on July 2, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain.

    "The CCR paper bolsters our confidence that givastomig has the potential to be a best-in-class, 1L treatment for Claudin 18.2-positive gastric cancers. Givastomig monotherapy demonstrated an ORR of ~18% in heavily pre-treated gastric cancer patients, across a wide range of Claudin 18.2 expression levels, with a 9.4-month median duration of response. This study helped us to further characterize givastomig's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile to define the dosing cohorts being tested in the ongoing Phase 1b combination study," said Phillip Dennis, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of I-Mab. "We believe givastomig has the potential to enhance the efficacy of combination regimens such as nivolumab plus chemotherapy, a cornerstone of gastric cancer care."

    Dr. Dennis continued, "We believe givastomig's monotherapy data compare favorably to other Claudin 18.2 targeted agents that have less efficacy and/or greater toxicity. We believe givastomig's molecular structure is the key to its differentiated profile. Givastomig's unique bispecific design enables high binding affinity to Claudin 18.2-positive cancer cells across a wide range of Claudin expression levels, with finely tuned, localized T cell stimulation via 4-1BB. Through careful engineering, the Fc effector function that confers antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) has been silenced, leading to less gastrointestinal toxicity than has been observed with other Claudin 18.2 assets with these functions intact. We look forward to presenting the initial combination data from the Phase 1b dose escalation cohort (n=17), at ESMO GI on July 2nd in Barcelona, Spain."

    Summary of Published Monotherapy Results:

    A total of 75 patients received givastomig across nine sequential dose levels between 0.1 and 18 mg/kg. The 75 patients were comprised of 56 subjects from the United States and 19 subjects from China. Patients were heavily pretreated, with a median of three prior lines of therapy. 75% of patients were CLDN18.2-positive, by the trial definition.

    Of the 43 efficacy-evaluable patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced or metastatic GEC who received givastomig monotherapy at doses ranging from 5 to 18 mg/kg, PRs were observed in seven patients (one at 5 mg/kg, one at 8 mg/kg, four at 12 mg/kg, and one at 18 mg/kg) with an ORR of 16% (7/43 patients) for single agent givastomig. Five of the seven patients who had achieved a PR (71%) had previously received a checkpoint inhibitor. Stable disease (SD) was reported in 14 patients, which resulted in a disease control rate (DCR) of 49% (21/43 patients).

    • No dose-limiting toxicity was reported up to 15 mg/kg dosed every two weeks (Q2W), and 18 mg/kg dosed every three weeks (Q3W), and a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not identified
    • The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were mainly Grade 1 or 2
    • Givastomig exhibited linear pharmacokinetics (PK) at doses ≥5 mg/kg, and showed a dose-dependent increase in soluble 4-1BB levels, reaching a plateau at doses ranging from 8 to 18 mg/kg
    • CLDN18.2 expression in responders ranged from 11% to 100%

    About Givastomig

    Givastomig (TJ033721 / ABL111) is a bispecific antibody targeting Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-positive tumor cells. It conditionally activates T cells through the 4-1BB signaling pathway in the tumor microenvironment where CLDN18.2 is expressed. Givastomig is being developed for first line (1L) metastatic gastric cancers, with further potential in other solid tumors. In Phase 1 trials, givastomig has shown promising anti-tumor activity attributable to a potential synergistic effect of proximal interaction between CLDN18.2 on tumor cells and 4-1BB on T cells in the tumor microenvironment, while minimizing toxicities commonly seen with other 4-1BB agents.

    An ongoing Phase 1b study is evaluating givastomig for the treatment of gastric cancer in the 1L setting in combination with standard of care, nivolumab (an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) plus chemotherapy, in dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts. Dose escalation is complete, and enrollment in the first dose expansion cohort (n=20) finished ahead of schedule. Enrollment continues to progress ahead of schedule in the second dose expansion cohort (n=20). The study builds on positive Phase 1 monotherapy data.

    Givastomig is being jointly developed through a global partnership with ABL Bio, in which I-Mab is the lead party and shares worldwide rights, excluding Greater China and South Korea, equally with ABL Bio.
