* HMBD ~ Hummingbird Bioscience, a data-driven precision biotherapeutics company, announced a Trials in Progress poster presentation for HMBD-002, a unique anti-VISTA antibody, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The poster will summarize the Phase 1 clinical trial design for HMBD-002.

HMBD-002 is a non-depleting, high-affinity anti-VISTA antibody that possesses key design features enabling robust anti-tumor activity in preclinical models. It is being assessed in a Phase 1 study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. Monotherapy escalation cohorts 1-4 have been completed without dose-limiting toxicities and the trial is currently enrolling cohort 5. Combination escalation is projected to begin in the second half of 2023.

Jerome Boyd-Kirkup, Ph.D., Hummingbird Bioscience's Chief Scientific Officer said: "VISTA's complex biology makes it a hard-to-drug target, yet we have shown in our preclinical studies that HMBD-002 has potent anti-tumor activity with its unique mechanism of action. In this poster at ASCO, we will display the progress that HMBD-002 has made in Phase 1 trials."

The poster session track is Developmental Therapeutics—Immunotherapy and will be held on June 3rd from 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM CDT at Hall A with Poster Board Number 505b. It is expected that Hummingbird Bioscience will discuss longer term clinical development plans and combination strategies with the wider immuno-oncology community at ASCO.

HMBD-002 has potential to be an important new therapy for VISTA expressing cancers including triple negative breast cancer and non small cell lung cancer.
