Marengo Therapeutics to Present at the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference
Marengo Therapeutics, Inc., a pioneering name in the clinical-stage biotechnology landscape, has announced its participation in the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. The event, which is one of the most significant gatherings in the healthcare sector, will include a presentation by Dr. Zhen Su, the CEO of Marengo, set to take place on January 16, 2025, at 10 AM PT.
This appearance is particularly exciting, given the recent clinical advancements Marengo has achieved, particularly with its lead asset, Invikafusp alfa (STAR0602). This compound has been pivotal in their research, boasting promising results showcased during the recent Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) plenary session. Furthermore, the FDA has granted Fast Track designation for Invikafusp alfa, a significant milestone that showcases the potential impact of their work in the field.
Dr. Su expressed enthusiasm about sharing these developments, stating, "The clinical validation of our TCR Vβ targeted precision dual T cell agonist approach has unlocked the immense potential of the T-cell repertoire in vivo. This could pave the way for transformative therapies across various fields, including oncology, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases." The recent anti-tumor activity observed in PD-1 resistant 'cold' tumors provides a silver lining, considering the difficulty in treating such malignancies.
At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Marengo plans to delve into the efficacy of Invikafusp alfa in more detail. With its unique mechanism, this therapy has shown single-agent activity against challenging tumor types. Based on current progress, Marengo is poised to advance rapidly through its Phase 2 clinical trials, aiming to provide further insights to the healthcare community later this year.
