Study of the Monoclonal Antibody IMT-009 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphomas

IMT-009 is an Fc-attenuated monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity and selectivity to CD161, a receptor that is broadly expressed on NK and a subset of memory T cells, blocking interactions between the receptor and its cognate ligand, CLEC2D, which is expressed on the surface of both cancer cells and immune cells. Preclinical data confirm that CD161 blockade with IMT-009 results in enhanced anti-tumor activity. This is a Phase 1/2a, open label dose escalation study of IMT-009, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting CD161, given as a single agent in Phase 1 and potentially in combination with other antineoplastic agents in Phase 2.
