TD Cowen 46th Annual Health Care Conference summary
3 Mar, 2026Strategic overview and pipeline focus
Advancing two novel oncology programs: evorpacept (EVO, CD47 inhibitor) and ALX2004 (EGFR-targeted ADC), with a focus on breast cancer and dose escalation studies respectively.
EVO's unique dead Fc approach avoids on-target toxicity seen in conventional CD47 therapies, validated across multiple clinical studies and combinations.
ALX2004 features a proprietary linker and TOPO1 payload, with a differentiated epitope and promising preclinical and early clinical safety data.
Recent $150 million financing extends cash runway through H1 2028, supporting pivotal milestones for both programs.
Active collaborations, including with Sanofi and Jazz, expand clinical validation and combination opportunities.
Clinical data highlights
ASPEN-06 phase 2 in HER2-positive breast cancer showed a 65% response rate for EVO vs. 26% for control; similar strong results in gastric cancer and indolent lymphoma.
Response rates in indolent lymphoma with EVO combinations reached up to 92% in treatment-naive patients.
CD47 overexpression identified as a predictive biomarker for response, now a primary endpoint in ongoing ASPEN-09 breast cancer study.
Safety profile for EVO remains favorable, with over 750 patients treated and no significant on-target toxicity.
ALX2004 dose escalation ongoing, with safety data expected in H2 2026; preclinical models show robust tumor regression and bystander effect.
Forward-looking statements and milestones
ASPEN-09 breast cancer study increased sample size to 120, with top-line data from 80 patients expected mid-2027.
ALX2004 clinical trial progressing through dose levels, with expansion planned and safety data anticipated in H2 2026.
Both programs targeted to be pivotal-ready by end of 2026, leveraging strong financial position.
Ongoing business development discussions, with potential for further partnerships while prioritizing execution.
Addressable market for HER2-positive, CD47-overexpressing breast cancer estimated at 20,000 patients.
