(Nasdaq: JSPR) (“Jasper” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company developing novel antibody therapies addressing chronic diseases such as urticaria, lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and stem cell transplant conditioning agents targeting c-Kit, today announced that new positive data for briquilimab (formerly known as JSP191), will be presented at the 2023 Tandem Meetings: Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR, taking place on February 15-19, 2023 in Orlando, Florida. Three abstracts, covering data related to the Phase 1 study of briquilimab in combination with fludarabine and low-dose irradiation (Flu/TBI) conditioning in older adults (62 to 79 years) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or MDS undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), will be presented. The studies demonstrate that a regimen of briquilimab plus Flu/TBI leads to successful engraftment of donor blood stem cell without the usual short and long-term toxicities that accompany alternative busulfan-based regimens commonly used in transplant of donor or gene-corrected cells. Based on its mechanism of action, briquilimab is known to potently synergize with radiation, amplifying its stem cell depleting effects without increasing off-target toxicity. The first abstract demonstrates that briquilimab was safe, well-tolerated, and achieved durable remissions in 8 of 12 of the first treated AML patients. All 8 patients were relapse-free at one-year follow up. Six of 9 patients who entered transplant with detectable AML, a...
