CERRITOS, Calif., March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liminatus today announced plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating IBA101, a next-generation CD47-blocking monoclonal antibody designed to engage innate immune pathways and complement established immuno-oncology therapies. IBA101 is engineered to target the CD47 “don’t-eat-me” signal, a mechanism that enables tumor cells to evade innate immune surveillance. By enhancing macrophage-mediated tumor clearance and antigen presentation, IBA101 is designed to work alongside PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors, which remain the backbone of treatment across multiple solid tumor indications. The planned Phase 1 study is designed as a seamless clinical program, beginning with monotherapy dose escalation to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, followed by combination...

Extended long-term survival observed after an additional year of follow-up in ongoing phase 2a clinical trial, with 50% of 46 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with aglatimagene besadenovec (aglatimagene or CAN-2409) surviving beyond 24 months, despite prior inadequate response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and multiple adverse baseline prognostic factors. Among the patients surviving beyond 24 months and with PD-L1 status available, (17/20) 85% had baseline PD-L1 tumor proportion scores (TPS) below 50% (a population typically less responsive to ICI), supporting the potential of aglatimagene to upregulate PD-L1 in the tumor microenvironment and convert non-responders to ICI into responders. Median overall survival (mOS) was 25.4 months in the evaluable patients with inadequate response to ICI in...
