Piper Sandler 36th Annual Healthcare Conference summary
12 Jan, 2026Company overview and platform
Celebrating 10-year anniversary, currently in phase III with lead assets IO-102, IO-103, targeting IDO and PD-L1.
T-win platform is a dual mechanism cancer vaccine engaging T cells to target both tumor and immune suppressive cells.
Platform creates a pro-inflammatory, anti-tumor environment, synergizing with anti-PD-1 therapies.
Lead program and clinical data
Lead program IO-102/IO-103 targets IDO and PD-L1, combined with pembrolizumab in phase III.
Early phase I/II melanoma study showed 80% response rate, 50% complete response, and 25.5 months PFS.
Data led to FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation and direct advancement to phase III.
Multicenter global phase II studies in additional indications support robustness of initial data.
Phase III trial design and progress
Phase III trial sample size increased from 300 to over 400 patients, fully powered for PFS with 89% power.
Interim analysis in September did not meet high statistical significance (p=0.005), but final PFS readout expected in first half of next year.
Regulatory discussions most advanced in the U.S., with plans for Europe and global markets ongoing.
