[{"type":"text","content":"WATERTOWN, Mass., May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Acrivon” or “Acrivon Therapeutics”) (Nasdaq: ACRV), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing precision oncology medicines that it matches to patients whose tumors are predicted to be sensitive to each specific medicine by utilizing its proprietary proteomics-based patient responder identification platform, Acrivon Predictive Precision Proteomics (AP3), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and reviewed business highlights. “Within the first few months of 2024, we have demonstrated significant progress across our AP3 platform and our clinical and preclinical pipeline,” said Peter Blume-Jensen, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer, president, and founder of Acrivon. “We now have achieved statistically significant prospective validation of our AP3 patient selection approach via our ACR-368 OncoSignature assay, which demonstrated the ability to effectively identify cancer patients whose tumors are likely to respond to ACR-368 monotherapy. This included not only patients with ovarian cancer, but also with endometrial cancer, a new tumor type identified and predicted to be sensitive to ACR-368 by our AP3 platform. In our ongoing Phase 2 study, the initial combined overall confirmed response rate of 50 percent exceeds the clinical bar we think is necessary to improve over standard of care. Additionally, based on compelling preclinical data, we have accelerated the timeline for ACR-2316, our potential first-in-class, selective WEE1/PKMYT1 inhibitor designed for superior single-agent activity. An IND for ACR-2316 is now anticipated in the third quarter of 2024, with initiation of a clinical study expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. Finally, we have continued to attract high-caliber healthcare investors and fortified our balance sheet with an oversubscribed financing.” Recent Highlights At the Corporate R&D Event (April 2024), reported initial positive clinical data from the ongoing registrational-intent Phase 2b trial of ACR-368, a CHK1/2 inhibitor, for patients with locally advanced or metastatic, recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer or endometrial adenocarcinoma (data cut as of April 1, 2024) A confirmed ORR (per RECIST 1.1) of 50% was observed in the prospective cohort of OncoSignature-positive ...
