Updated data from EDGE-Gastric evaluating domvanalimab plus zimberelimab and chemotherapy in upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers will be presented in a special ASCO plenary series rapid abstract update session by Yelena Y. Janjigian, M.D., Chief Gastrointestinal Oncology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterCancer Center, and Lead Investigator for the EDGE-Gastric study Data from ARC-9 evaluating an etrumadenant plus zimberelimab-based treatment combination in third-line metastatic colorectal cancer will be presented in an oral presentation by Zev A. Wainberg, M.D., MSc, Co-Director UCLA Gastrointestinal Oncology Program, and Lead Investigator for the ARC-9 study Trial in Progress (TIP) poster for VELOCITY-Lung Substudy-03, a Phase 2 study of perioperative domvanalimab plus zimberelimab and chemotherapy in patients with resectable Stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Arcus Biosciences, Inc., (NYSE:RCUS), a clinical-stage, global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing differentiated molecules and combination therapies for people with cancer, today announced three accepted abstracts at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, which will be held May 31 – June 4, 2024. The selected abstracts presented in partnership with Gilead Sciences provide strong support for the companies’ portfolio of investigational medicines across multiple types of cancer, including lung, upper GI and colorectal cancer. “We will have two oral presentations for Phase 2 studies that highlight the potential for novel immuno-oncology mechanisms and combinations in gastrointestinal cancers,” said Terry Rosen, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Arcus. “The EDGE-Gastric presentation will include the median progression-free survival (PFS) data for our Fc-silent anti-TIGIT antibody in combination with zimberelimab and chemotherapy in upper GI cancers, the same setting as our STAR-221 Phase 3 study. The ARC-9 presentation will include randomized PFS and overall survival data for an etrumadenant (our adenosine receptor antagonist)-basedadenosine receptor antagonist)-based combination therapy versus regorafenib, an approved standard of care in third-line colorectal cancer.” Three Accepted Abstracts Will Be Presented Study Title Abstract Number Session Type & Title Session Date & Time Domvanalimab (Fc-silent anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody) plus Zimberelimab (anti-PD-1 antibody) EDGE-Gastric Updates on Abstract 433248: EDGE-Gastric Arm A1: Phase 2 study of domvanalimab, zimberelimab, and FOLFOX in first-line (1L) advanced gastroesophageal cancer. 433248 ASCO Plenary Series: Rapid Abstract Updates 6/01/2024, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM CT VELOCITY-Lung Substudy-03 TIP VELOCITY-Lung substudy-03: A phase 2 study of neoadjuvant domvanalimab (dom)+zimberelimab (zim)+chemotherapy (chemo) or zim+chemo followed by adjuvant dom+zim or zim in patients with resectable stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
