Oncology Focus
We aim to set new standards of cancer care with our portfolio of oncology drugs.
The foundation of our immuno-oncology franchise is built upon LOQTORZI, a next-generation PD-1 inhibitor. LOQTORZI is the only available FDA-approved treatment indicated in combination with chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and it is in development for the treatment of additional tumor types with the goal of being the PD-1/ICI backbone of future treatment combinations.
We believe improvement in overall survival must come from novel combinations that more broadly target the immune system and particularly mechanisms of PD-1 resistance.
Tagmokitug is a highly selective anti-CCR8 cytolytic antibody currently in Phase 1b studies in combination with toripalimab in patients with second-line head and neck cancer and second-line gastric cancer/GEJ/esophageal adneocarcinoma. Tagmokitug is also being studied in combination with toripalimab in fourth-line colorectal cancer and first-line and second line esophageal squamous cell carninoma.
Coherus will also be conducting a Phase 1b clinical trial with tagmokitug and pasritamig in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC.) Pasritamig is a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody developed by Johnson & Johnson.
Casdozokitug is a novel anti-IL-27 antibody antagonist currently being evaluated in a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial in liver cancer.
With our immuno-oncology pipeline, we are focusing development efforts on delivering potential survival benefits for cancer patients, beyond the efficacy with existing chemotherapy plus immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) regimens.
We have multiple novel immuno-oncology programs currently in our development pipeline.
