SOTIO Biotech, a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company owned by PPF Group, today announced it will present a Trial-in-Progress poster on the DUET-01 Phase 1/2 study of BOXR1030 at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting taking place May 31 – June 4, 2024, in Chicago, IL.

BOXR1030 is a next-generation GPC3-targeted CAR T-cell therapy enhanced with a transgene encoding GOT2, a critical enzyme involved in cellular metabolism. Preclinical studies of BOXR1030 have demonstrated its superior activity compared to standard CAR T-cell therapies. It is the most advanced therapeutic candidate from SOTIO’s BOXR platform of enhanced cell therapies for the treatment of solid tumors.

The DUET-01 clinical trial is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation study to assess and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of BOXR1030 in patients with GPC3 positive advanced solid tumors. The trial will enroll up to 98 patients with advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, squamous cell lung cancer, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma.

Poster details are as follows:
