Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1 study to assess the safety and efficacy of ELI-002 immunotherapy (a lipid-conjugated immune-stimulatory oligonucleotide [Amph-CpG-7909] plus a mixture of lipid-conjugated peptide-based antigens [Amph-Peptides]) as adjuvant treatment of minimal residual disease (MRD) in subjects with KRAS/neuroblastoma ras viral oncogene homolog (NRAS) mutated PDAC or other solid tumors.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1 dose escalation study in which ELI-002 2P (Amph modified KRAS peptides, Amph-G12D and Amph-G12R admixed with admixed Amph-CpG-7909) will be evaluated, with plans to transition to the ELI-002 7P drug product containing all 7 Amph-Peptides (G12D, G12R, G12V, G12A, G12C, G12S, G13D) in future clinical trials.

The study is an open-label, dose-escalation, 3+3 design in which approximately 18 subjects will be treated in 3 planned dose level cohorts. Increasing doses of Amph-CpG-7909 will be evaluated sequentially. Additional cohorts may be added to explore intermediate or higher dose levels based on cumulative safety review and preliminary review of pharmacodynamic responses. Safety and pharmacodynamic data will be evaluated and a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be determined in consideration of a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) if observed.

First-Line ICI Combinations Show Encouraging Response but No Definitive Survival Benefit in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer- A meta-analysis of eight trials (379 patients) found first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combinations improved objective response rate (OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.32–3.64) in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. - Overall survival (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.65–1.06) and progression-free survival (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.53–1.05) showed favorable but statistically non-definitive trends in RCT-only analyses. - The anti-angiogenic-containing NASCA regimen (fruquintinib plus camrelizumab plus chemotherapy) yielded the longest median OS (13.0 months) and an ORR of 51.1%, though requiring larger-trial confirmation. - Safety was manageable, with Grade ≥3 neutropenia in 33.3%–43.6% and severe immune-related adverse events in only 4.4%–5.7% of patients.2 months agoElicio Therapeutics Reports Encouraging Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P Trial Progress with Fewer Disease Events Than Projected- Elicio Therapeutics reported fewer disease progressions and deaths than projected in its ongoing Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial evaluating ELI-002 7P in patients with KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. - The company demonstrated evidence of antigen spreading to patient-specific neoantigens beyond mKRAS in December 2025, showing induction of de novo T cell responses against non-vaccine tumor neoantigens. - The event-driven primary disease-free survival analysis for the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P study is anticipated in the first half of 2026, with cash runway projected into Q3 2026. - Elicio plans to request an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA to finalize Phase 3 trial design following completion of the primary DFS analysis.6 months agoElicio Therapeutics Gains FDA Support for ELI-002 Registrational Strategy in KRAS-Mutated Cancers- Elicio Therapeutics received supportive feedback from the FDA regarding the registrational strategy for ELI-002, an investigational cancer vaccine. - The FDA's feedback included key elements of the Phase 3 study design, such as dose, schedule, patient population, and primary endpoint analysis. - Elicio's Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P study of ELI-002 is fully enrolled, with an interim analysis of disease-free survival expected in H1 2025. - Positive results from the Phase 2 study could support rapid advancement into Phase 3 development and a potential Biologics License Application (BLA).last year
