Elicio Therapeutics Reports Antigen Spreading to Patient-Specific Neoantigens Beyond mKRAS in Ongoing Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P Trial
Globenewswire· 2025-12-11 13:00
Antigen spreading was evaluated in a subset of Phase 2 patients to assess the ability of ELI-002 7P to broaden immune responses to personalized tumor neoantigens not present in the targeted immunotherapy87% (13/15) of evaluated patients demonstrated induction of T cell responses to tumor neoantigens beyond mKRAS following ELI-002 7P therapyThe induction of non-mKRAS antigen-specific T cell responses supports the potential for ELI-002 7P to generate a broader, more adaptable, and personalized anti-tumor resp ...
