Frequently asked questions about Domvanalimab

What is Domvanalimab used for?

Domvanalimab is an investigational oncology drug being studied for advanced upper gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinoma, gastrointestinal tract malignancies, non-small cell lung cancer, and solid tumors in adults. It is developed by Arcus Biosciences, Inc. (RCUS) and is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

What does Domvanalimab target?

Domvanalimab targets TIGIT, an immune checkpoint receptor, and acts as an inhibitor. By blocking TIGIT, it aims to enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells. This mechanism is being evaluated in clinical trials for various solid tumors, including lung cancer and gastrointestinal malignancies.

Who makes Domvanalimab?

Domvanalimab is developed by Arcus Biosciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded under the ticker symbol RCUS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in multiple oncology indications.

What phase is Domvanalimab in?

Domvanalimab is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Clinical trials are ongoing to assess its safety and effectiveness in treating various cancers.

What clinical trials is Domvanalimab in?

Domvanalimab has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT03628677, a Phase 1 study in advanced solid tumors; NCT04262856, a Phase 2 study in PD-L1 positive non-small cell lung cancer; NCT04736173, a Phase 2 study in lung cancer; and NCT05329766, a Phase 2 study in advanced upper gastrointestinal tract malignancies.

Is Domvanalimab the same as AB154?

Yes, Domvanalimab was previously known as AB154. The Phase 1 clinical trial NCT03628677, which evaluated the drug in participants with advanced malignancies, used the name AB154. Both names refer to the same investigational TIGIT inhibitor developed by Arcus Biosciences.
