3rd Annual Guggenheim Healthcare Innovation Conference summary
9 Nov, 2026Lead TSLP program and clinical strategy
Lead severe-asthma asset SOLAIRIA is in phase III; early data support potential six-month dosing and showed biomarker reductions at least comparable to tezepelumab.
Phase II was skipped based on shared epitope, phase I biomarker results, regulatory precedent and modeling that indicated 99.9% target engagement; 300 mg was selected, with no added biomarker reduction above that dose.
COPD is the planned next indication after asthma; phase Ib showed comparable biomarker reductions to asthma and no difference between 300 mg and 600 mg. Management favors two trials after FDA feedback.
COPD rationale includes low-single-digit biologic use and high unmet need; cited tezepelumab phase II exacerbation reductions were mid-40% for patients with EOS >300 and 37% for EOS >150.
EoE ranks third among potential indications; management also cited chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, food allergy and atopic dermatitis as TSLP opportunities.
MMAE neutralizer
Designed to bind and clear prematurely cleaved MMAE without disrupting intact ADC, with the goal of reducing PADCEV-associated peripheral neuropathy and widening its therapeutic window.
By end-2026, management expects to identify a dose targeting a 50% reduction in circulating MMAE; a ~40-patient expansion cohort will assess slowing or preventing progression from grade 1 to grade 2 neuropathy.
Proof-of-concept data are expected next year; if supportive, a 100–200-patient study could assess neuropathy progression and potentially be registrational. Management said approval could precede the TSLP asset.
Management sees potential to improve PADCEV access and treatment duration, with longer exposure potentially supporting survival; cited use was 80–90% at academic centers versus 50% in community settings.
Armored CAR-T
Roswell Park collaboration is testing an IL-18-armored MUC16 CAR-T for ovarian cancer, designed for potent activity; the first patient has been dosed in a phase I trial expected to enroll 10–15 patients.
Early patient outcomes will inform next steps; management does not plan to become a long-term autologous CAR-T company and may pursue a spinout or partnership if the program succeeds.
Management framed a potential benchmark as converting partial responses seen with T-cell engagers into complete responses with CAR-T.
