Symphogen to Present at JPMorgan Conference in San Francisco, CA

Back to News
Symphogen, a private biopharmaceutical Company developing recombinant antibody mixtures, announced today that Kirsten Drejer, Chief Executive Officer, will present an update on the Company at the 34th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Thursday, January 14, 2016 from 11:00 AM - 11.25 AM at San Francisco's Westin St. Francis Hotel in the Elizabethan D meeting room. The company announced earlier this month a strategic collaboration with Baxalta Incorporated, worth up to $1.6 billion plus royalties, to develop immuno-oncology candidate products.

Pipeline Overview
Symphogen’s most advanced drug candidate, Sym004, is currently being investigated in clinical studies in multiple cancer indications. Most progressed is a fully enrolled Phase 2b study in 254 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and with acquired resistance to anti-EGFR antibody therapies, which is being conducted in the USA and Europe. Positive efficacy clinical findings from a previous study of Sym004 in the same patient population were published for the first time in the peer-reviewed journal, Cancer Discovery, in June 2015. Two additional drug candidates Sym015 (anti-MET) and Sym013 (anti-pan-HER) are expected to enter the clinic during 2016. Symphogen has built an innovative portfolio of early-stage immuno-oncology programs based on the company’s expertise in this field and its productive technology suite – capable of identifying, selecting, and manufacturing therapeutic antibodies and antibody mixtures.  In early 2016 this resulted in a broad strategic collaboration with the US-based global biopharmaceutical Company, Baxalta, to advance novel therapeutics against six immuno-oncology targets. This collaboration was designed to build upon the rapidly expanding field of immunological checkpoint blockade which offers patients with improved efficacy in fighting a variety of cancers.”
