Participants enrolled from ex-US sites will receive cusatuzumab 20 mg/kg and potentially de-escalate to 10 mg/kg IV in combination with azacitidine 75 mg/m\^2 SC or IV plus venetoclax ramp-up to 400 mg orally (as background therapies).
adjuvant monotherapyEXPERIMENTALARGX-110 5mg/kg once every three weeks for a maximum of 18 cycles

Frequently asked questions about ARGX-110

What is ARGX-110 used for?

ARGX-110 is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied in oncology for advanced malignancies, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It has been evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials, both as a single agent and in combination with azacytidine in newly diagnosed AML or high risk MDS.

What does ARGX-110 target?

ARGX-110 targets CD70, a protein expressed on certain cancer cells. By binding to CD70, the monoclonal antibody is designed to act against CD70-positive malignancies. CD70 is the molecular target of ARGX-110, and its target class is a protein.

Who is developing ARGX-110?

ARGX-110 is being developed by argenx SE, a biotechnology company whose ticker symbol is ARGX. Argenx SE is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating ARGX-110 in oncology indications.

What phase is ARGX-110 in?

ARGX-110 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and is not approved for any indication. All three of its recorded Phase 1 trials have been completed, with no active trials currently listed.

What clinical trials is ARGX-110 in?

ARGX-110 has been studied in three completed Phase 1 trials: NCT03030612 in newly diagnosed AML or high risk MDS in combination with azacytidine, NCT02759250 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and NCT01813539 in advanced malignancies. These trials enrolled participants in Belgium, France, and Switzerland.

How many patients were enrolled in ARGX-110 trials?

The ARGX-110 clinical program enrolled a total of 99 participants in its advanced malignancies trial, 38 participants in the AML and high risk MDS trial, and 11 participants in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma trial. All three studies were Phase 1 and have been completed.
