Frequently asked questions about agenT-797

What is agenT-797 used for?

agenT-797 is an investigational small molecule being studied for pneumonia, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and solid tumors. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for severe pneumonia with moderate to severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

What does agenT-797 target?

agenT-797 targets CD1d, a protein involved in antigen presentation. By engaging CD1d, the drug is designed to modulate immune responses in the conditions being studied, including pneumonia and multiple myeloma.

Who makes agenT-797?

agenT-797 is being developed by Agenus Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol AGEN. The company is conducting clinical trials of agenT-797 across multiple indications.

What phase is agenT-797 in?

agenT-797 is in Phase 2 clinical development for severe pneumonia. It has completed Phase 1 trials in solid tumors, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. The drug is investigational and not yet approved.

What clinical trials is agenT-797 in?

agenT-797 is being evaluated in NCT07615010, a Phase 2 trial for severe pneumonia with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, currently recruiting 90 participants in the United States and Ukraine. Completed Phase 1 trials include NCT05108623 for solid tumors, NCT04754100 for multiple myeloma, and NCT04582201 for ARDS.

Is agenT-797 the same as other drugs?

agenT-797 is a distinct investigational agent developed by Agenus Inc. No alternative names for this drug have been reported in clinical trial registrations. It is being studied as a monotherapy and in combination with standard of care in various indications.
