Executive leadership and company strategy

  • Sean Nilan, new CEO of Affimed, brings extensive experience in biotech leadership, fundraising, and clinical development, having previously led Elevation Oncology and Forbio.

  • Affimed is prioritizing its pipeline based on investor and partner feedback, focusing on programs with the highest commercial potential.

  • Pipeline prioritization will be influenced by the next financing round, with AFM24 and AFM28 receiving the most interest.

  • The company is considering deprioritizing programs with lower commercial potential, such as the asymptomatic program.

  • Investor and partner interests are aligned, with both groups focusing on late-phase, high-potential assets.

Clinical program updates and data readouts

  • AFM24, an EGFR/CD16A innate cell engager, has shown encouraging monotherapy and combination activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with response rates of 21-24% and median PFS of 5.6 months in both EGFR wild-type and mutant cohorts.

  • Higher exposure to AFM24 correlates with improved efficacy; a new 720mg cohort is planned, aiming for >30% ORR and >7 months median PFS.

  • AFM28, a CD123 NK cell engager for AML, demonstrated a 40% composite CR rate and response durations of 2.5–6.5 months at the 300mg dose, surpassing recent regulatory benchmarks.

  • Dose escalation for AFM28 continues, with data from the next cohort expected in 6–9 months.

  • The company is optimizing trial design by excluding prior taxane exposure in the next AFM24 cohort to enrich for better PFS outcomes.

Partnering, commercial, and regulatory considerations

  • The partnership with Artiva for the asymptomatic program introduces economic complexities, but combination therapy is seen as necessary for durable responses.

  • Expanding into relapsed/refractory PTCL is viewed as key to unlocking greater commercial potential for the asymptomatic program.

  • Registration paths for AFM24 in NSCLC will require Phase 3 trials versus docetaxel, with regulatory discussions on contribution of parts pending.

  • NK cell engager approaches are differentiated by a wider therapeutic index and reduced toxicity compared to T-cell engagers and other modalities.

  • Commercial viability and scalability are central to development decisions, especially in transitioning from academic to industry-grade NK cell sources.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
