In addition, the expansive elacestrant clinical development program updates reinforce its potential as a backbone endocrine therapy in combination settings, as well as in both metastatic and early stage breast cancer. FLORENCE, Italy and NEW YORK, Dec. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Menarini Group (“Menarini”), a leading international pharmaceutical and diagnostics company, and Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. (“Stemline”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group, focused on bringing transformational oncology treatments to cancer patients, will present updated meaningful median progression-free survival (mPFS) efficacy results from two combination regimens of the Phase 2 ELEVATE study in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), HER2-negative (HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The ELEVATE study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral-oral combination treatment options to overcome different resistance mechanisms observed in ER+/HER2- mBC with the goal of improving patient outcomes. These data will be presented at the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), December 9-12. “The encouraging progression-free survival data increase our confidence in the role elacestrant could play as an endocrine therapy backbone in the combination setting,” said Virginia Kaklamani, MD, DSc, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology/Oncology at UT Health San Antonio, and Leader of the Breast Cancer Program at UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center. “The safety profile of elacestrant in combination with everolimus or abemaciclib is consistent with the known safety profiles of each drug. No new safety signals have been observed.” The ELEVATE data to be presented at SABCS demonstrate that elacestrant in combination with everolimus or with abemaciclib shows a consistent PFS benefit, irrespective of ESR1 mutation status in patients with ER+/HER2- mBC, who experience disease progression on endocrine therapy (ET), with or without prior exposure to CDK4/6 inhibitors. These updated results also show that the safety of the combinations are consistent with the known safety profiles of each targeted therapy plus standard of care endocrine therapy.

ELECTRA (NCT05386108) is an open-label phase 1b/2, multicenter study evaluating elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in patients with ER+, HER2- breast cancer. The phase 2 portion evaluates this treatment regimen in patients with brain metastases. ELCIN (NCT05596409) is a phase 2 trial evaluating the efficacy of elacestrant in patients with ER+, HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer who received one or two prior hormonal therapies and no prior CDK4/6 inhibitors in the metastatic setting. ADELA (NCT06382948) is a phase 3 randomized, double-blinded trial evaluating elacestrant in combination with everolimus in patients with ER+, HER2- mBC with ESR1-mut tumors. Elacestrant is also being evaluated in additional investigator-led trials, in trials conducted in collaboration with other companies, in metastatic breast cancer as well as in early disease.

SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Antengene Corporation Limited (" Antengene", SEHK: 6996.HK), a leading innovative, commercial-stage global biotech company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class and/or best-in-class medicines for autoimmune disease, solid tumors and hematological malignancies indications, today announced that the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved the investigational new drug (IND) application for the Phase Ib/II CLINCH-2 study evaluating ATG-022 (CLDN18.2 antibody-drug conjugate [ADC]) in combination with MSD's (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), as well as ATG-022 in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. CLINCH-2 is a Phase Ib/II study that will be led by its principal investigator Prof. Lin Shen at Beijing Cancer Hospital, the lead trial center. The study is designed to evaluate two combination regimens in patients with CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative, and PD-L1-positive (CPS≥1) unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJC): ATG-022 in combination with pembrolizumab (A+P); and ATG-022 in combination with pembrolizumab plus the CAPOX chemotherapy regimen (A+P+C). The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the two combination regimens, while the secondary objectives include evaluating the regimens' preliminary antitumor activity, assessing ATG-022's immunogenicity, and characterizing its pharmacokinetic (PK) profile. Antengene released updated clinical data from the Phase I/II CLINCH study of ATG-022 monotherapy in patients with advanced GC/GEJC at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2025 (ESMO 2025). For details of the dataset, please refer to the press release published on October 20, 2025 (). The results demonstrated clear differentiation for ATG-022 in both safety and efficacy. In the 1.8 mg/kg dose cohort, the incidence of grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events was only 18.2%. Moreover, the study did not observe any ocular toxicity or interstitial lung disease, and the incidence of peripheral neuropathy reported in the study was relatively low. The efficacious doses (1.8mg/kg and 2.4mg/kg) have both demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) of 40%. This is a strong validation of ATG-022's potential in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in the frontline setting. In addition, antitumor activity was observed across high, medium, and low CLDN18.2 expression levels, supporting the use of IHC 1+ ≥1% as the enrollment threshold for frontline combination therapy, indicating potential applicability to a much broader patient population compared to other CLDN18.2-targeting therapies. Furthermore, in the basket cohort of other CLDN18.2+ tumor types, efficacy was observed in a gynecologic tumor subtype, providing early proof of concept for potential expansion into tumor types beyond gastric cancer. Antengene will continue to advance both the ongoing CLINCH study and the newly approved CLINCH-2 study, with plans to share updated results at upcoming medical conferences to further demonstrate the clinical potential of ATG-022. KEYTRUDA® is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA. About ATG-022 ATG-022 is a CLDN18.2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with sub-nM affinity and fast internalization. Using a VC-MMAE linker-payload (DAR 4), ATG-022 has demonstrated potent activity across tumors with high, low, and ultra-low CLDN18.2 expression. ATG-022 has been granted two Orphan Drug designations (ODDs) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer, and obtained Breakthrough Therapy Designation from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for treating CLDN18.2-positive, HER-2 negative unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJC) who have received at least two prior lines of therapy. About Antengene Antengene Corporation Limited ( "Antengene", SEHK: 6996.HK) is a global, R&D-driven, commercial-stage biotech company focused on developing first-in-class/best-in-class therapeutics for diseases with significant unmet medical needs.
