LINDIS Biotech Presented Encouraging Data from High Risk-Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients Treated with Trifunctional Antibody CATUMAXOMAB at EMUC22
- Results from Phase I dose escalation trial of anti-EPCAM/CD3 presented at the EMUC 2022 congress demonstrated encouraging preliminary efficacy and excellent safety and tolerability profile, treatments at the recommended dose of 70 μg have been initiated
- Data showed that 100% of patients that completed treatment in the 70 μg and 100 μg dose groups achieved a complete remission as best response with no recurrence throughout the period of follow-up
- High risk and very high risk NMIBC is a type of bladder cancer, that is particularly challenging to tackle as patients experience a high risk of recurrence and progression; current standard of care BCG comes with significant side effects, high dropout rates, while rates of recurrence and progression remain substantial

LINDIS Biotech Announces Publication of Patient Data Highlighting the Potential of Trifunctional Antibody CATUMAXOMAB for Treatment of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer in Peer-Reviewed Journal
- Follow up data from two patients published in Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy (CII)
- Following exclusive treatment with CATUMAXOMAB (no TUR-B), tumors were undetectable and no tumor cells were observed in the patient’s urine samples
- Phase 1 study to evaluate safety and initial signals of efficacy in up to 30 patients initiated
- CATUMAXOMAB would be the first specific immunotherapy for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, an indication with an extremely high unmet medical need due to high recurrence rates and considerable side effects and costs of standard therapy
