Frequently asked questions about Fianlimab

What is fianlimab?

Fianlimab is an investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals that targets LAG3, an inhibitory immune checkpoint. It is being studied in oncology, both as a single agent and in combination with cemiplimab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, across several solid tumor types including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

What does fianlimab target?

Fianlimab targets LAG3 (lymphocyte activation gene 3), an inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor on immune cells. Fianlimab is a LAG3 inhibitor, meaning it is designed to block LAG3-mediated suppression of immune responses. It is being developed both alone and combined with cemiplimab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in solid tumors.

Who makes fianlimab?

Fianlimab is developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades under the ticker REGN. Regeneron is running the clinical program for fianlimab, including studies that combine it with cemiplimab, the company's anti-PD-1 antibody, in melanoma, head and neck cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and lung cancer.

What phase is fianlimab in?

Fianlimab is in Phase 2 clinical development across most of its programs, with a Phase 3 study also recruiting in advanced or metastatic melanoma. It is investigational and is not described as approved. The program includes four active trials with a combined planned enrollment of 3,718 participants, and the studies are randomized, double-blind, and controlled.

What clinical trials is fianlimab in?

Fianlimab is being studied in four active trials. These include NCT07188896 in first-line advanced renal cell carcinoma, NCT06769698 in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, NCT06246916 (Harmony Head-to-Head) in advanced or metastatic melanoma, and NCT06848088, a long-term follow-up study of melanoma participants from a prior trial.
