Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Phase 2
Last randomized patient on study at least 16 weeks

Percentage of patients with objective response per RECIST 1.1

Phase 3
From the date of randomization to the date of death (due to any cause), up to 36 months postdose

Overall Survival

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Up to 3 years (cohort)

The proportion of patients having either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per RECIST 1.1. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. For non-target lesions, CR is the disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

Overall Response Rate (ORR) using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR assessment
Approximately 6 months after the last participant is enrolled

Evaluate the ORR of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and single-agent chemotherapy in the sub-population of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who express CD47 (CD47+). ORR is defined as a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR assessment.

Frequently asked questions about evorpacept

What is Evorpacept?

Evorpacept is an investigational biologic cancer therapy developed by ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. It is being studied in several tumor types, including metastatic breast cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and bladder cancer. It is designed to be given in combination with other anticancer agents such as trastuzumab, pembrolizumab, chemotherapy, and enfortumab vedotin.

What does Evorpacept target?

Evorpacept targets CD47 and acts as an inhibitor of that target. CD47 is a cell-surface protein often described as a don't-eat-me signal that cancer cells use to avoid immune clearance. By binding CD47, evorpacept is designed to block that signal and support immune-mediated attack on tumor cells.

Who makes Evorpacept?

Evorpacept is being developed by ALX Oncology Holdings Inc., which trades under the ticker ALXO. The company is running the ASPEN series of studies of evorpacept across multiple solid tumor indications, often in combination with established anticancer therapies.

What phase is Evorpacept in?

Evorpacept is investigational and remains in clinical development. Its trials span Phase 1 through Phase 2/Phase 3, including a Phase 1 study in urothelial carcinoma, Phase 2 studies in head and neck cancer and metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, and a Phase 2/Phase 3 study in advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer.

What clinical trials is Evorpacept in?

Evorpacept trials include NCT07007559 (ASPEN-09-03) in metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, which is recruiting; NCT05524545 (ASPEN-07) with enfortumab vedotin in urothelial carcinoma, completed; NCT05002127 (ASPEN-06) in advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer, completed; and NCT04675333 (ASPEN-04) with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, active but not recruiting.

Is Evorpacept the same as ALX148?

Yes, ALX148 is another name for evorpacept. The two names refer to the same investigational CD47-targeting biologic from ALX Oncology, and several of its clinical trials list it as evorpacept (ALX148) in their titles.
