Overview

  • Drug concept: Develop a small molecule for cancer immunotherapy that targets immunosuppressive cell trafficking to increase ICT
    response rate
  • Target class: EVT801 is a selective inhibitor of the VEGFR3 tyrosine kinase
  • Project status: EVT801 is currently in late preclinical development and is anticipated to be Phase 1 ready in Q3 2018
  • Targeted indication: Combination with immune checkpoint therapies for non-responder patients with VEGFR3+ microenvironment
  • Gateway indication: Solid tumours with VEGFR3+ microenvironment and/or Kaposi’s sarcoma as orphan disease
  • Administration: Oral administration
  • Biomarkers: Patient stratification: VEGFR3 expression on TME & circulating MDSCs quantification
    PD biomarker: ERK/AKT phosphorylation & gene signature
    Biomarker of activity: Gene signature & circulating immune-cells quantification
