Poster presentation highlights NL-201 activity in multiple myeloma stem cell transplant model
Abstract reports activity of NL-201 as monotherapy and anti-PD1 combination in non-Hodgkin lymphoma model
SEATTLE, Dec. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neoleukin Therapeutics, Inc., Neoleukin (NASDAQ:NLTX), a biopharmaceutical company utilizing sophisticated computational methods to design de novo protein therapeutics, today announced the presentation of preclinical data on NL-201 in multiple myeloma at the 63rd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition taking place virtually and in person December 11-14, 2021. Additionally, a published abstract in Blood reports on NL-201 antitumor activity in preclinical studies of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
NL-201 is a de novo agonist of the IL-2 and IL-15 receptors, designed to expand cancer-fighting CD8 T cells and natural killer (NK) cells without a bias toward cells expressing the IL-2 receptor alpha subunit (CD25). NL-201 is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial for patients with solid tumors.
The preclinical multiple myeloma data, to be presented in a poster session by Simone A. Minnie, PhD, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, demonstrate the ability of NL-201 to prevent relapse in murine myeloma models following autologous stem cell transplant. Experimental results indicate that anti-myeloma activity is mediated by expansion of cytotoxic memory CD8 T cells and a decrease in T-regulatory CD4 cells in the bone marrow. Furthermore, NL-201 treated mice had an increase in bone marrow T-cells expressing granzyme B and a decrease in the T-cell exhaustion phenotype.
These data, generated by our collaborators at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, demonstrate robust immune effects and anti-myeloma activity in a challenging setting, said Priti Patel M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Neoleukin. Together with our published results on the preclinical activity of NL-201 against B-cell lymphoma, we believe that a clinical trial of NL-201 in patients with hematologic malignancies is warranted. We expect to initiate a Phase 1 trial in 2022 to evaluate NL-201 in patients with these indications.

About NL-201NL-201 is a de novo agonist of the IL-2 and IL-15 receptors, designed to expand cancer-fighting CD8 T cells and natural killer (NK) cells without any bias toward cells expressing the alpha receptor subunit (CD25). Previously presented preclinical data has demonstrated the ability of NL-201 to stimulate and expand CD8+ and NK cells at low doses with minimal impact on immunosuppressive regulatory T cells. Furthermore, NL-201 has demonstrated both monotherapy and combination activity across a wide range of preclinical syngeneic tumor models.
About Neoleukin Therapeutics, Inc.
Neoleukin is a biopharmaceutical company creating next generation immunotherapies for cancer, inflammation and autoimmunity using de novo protein design technology. Neoleukin uses sophisticated computational methods to design proteins that demonstrate specific pharmaceutical properties that provide potentially superior therapeutic benefit over native proteins. Neoleukins lead product candidate, NL-201, is a combined IL-2 and IL-15 agonist designed to improve tolerability and activity by eliminating the alpha receptor binding interface.
