Antengene Corporation Limited (SEHK: 6996.HK), a pioneering biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing groundbreaking treatments for cancer, is proud to announce the results of their Phase I/II TORCH-2 study will be presented at the American Society for Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting (ASCO 2023) in Chicago.
From June 2nd to 6th, medical experts from around the world will gather at McCormick Place Convention Center to learn about the latest advancements in cancer research – including Antengene’s TORCH-2 study.
The TORCH-2 study is a groundbreaking clinical trial that seeks to further explore the potential of ATG-008, a novel mTORC1/2 inhibitor, when used in tandem with the anti-PD-L1 antibody, toripalimab. This open-label dose escalation and expansion study is being conducted to assess the efficacy of this combination therapy in treating advanced solid tumors.
At the upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in 2023, Antengene will present the results of the TORCH-2 study, which suggests that combining ATG-008 with an immune checkpoint inhibitor could be a more effective and durable way to control tumors.
This is due to the powerful role that the mTOR signaling pathway plays in the biology of immune cells. Dr. Amily Zhang, Antengene’s Chief Medical Officer, is excited to share these findings with the oncology community.
