Company Presentation summary
4 Jul, 2025Pipeline and product candidates
ONCT-534 is a dual-action androgen receptor inhibitor in Phase 1/2 for resistant metastatic prostate cancer, showing activity against AR mutations and splice variants, with Fast Track designation from the FDA.
ONCT-808 is an autologous CAR T cell therapy targeting ROR1, demonstrating encouraging clinical activity in aggressive B-cell NHL, including in patients who failed CD19 CAR T therapy.
Zilovertamab, a monoclonal antibody targeting ROR1, has shown 100% progression-free survival in CLL patients with TP53 aberrations and is under further investigation.
The pipeline includes multiple modalities (small molecule, CAR T, antibody) and targets both hematological malignancies and solid tumors.
Multiple clinical catalysts are expected within the current cash runway, including data readouts for ONCT-534 and ONCT-808 in 3Q 2024.
Clinical and preclinical data
ONCT-534 demonstrates anti-tumor activity in both enzalutamide-sensitive and -resistant prostate cancer models, including those with AR-V7 splice variants.
ONCT-534 induces degradation of both native and splice variant AR via ubiquitination and proteasomal pathways, requiring the AR N-terminal domain.
ONCT-808 CAR T cells show strong anti-tumor activity in ROR1+ mantle cell lymphoma xenograft models and persistence in treated patients.
Zilovertamab combined with ibrutinib in CLL patients with TP53 mutations achieved prolonged progression-free survival and was well tolerated.
ROR1 is highly expressed in aggressive B-cell malignancies and many solid tumors, supporting its selection as a therapeutic target.
Clinical development and milestones
ONCT-534 Phase 1/2 study has fully enrolled its sixth dose cohort (1200 mg daily) in mCRPC, with initial data expected in 3Q 2024.
ONCT-808 Phase 1/2 study is open and enrolling, with protocol amendments to enhance safety and eligibility; initial data update expected in 3Q 2024.
Zilovertamab is being further investigated in CLL and other tumor types, with ongoing discussions for partnerships and collaborations.
The company is supported by experienced scientific and clinical advisory boards in both prostate cancer and cell therapy.
Cash and short-term investments of $27.0M as of March 31, 2024, provide runway into Q1 2025.
