The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 18, 2025, the Company announced data from its Phase 1/2 clinical study of CRB-701 that was presented at ESMO25 on October 19, 2025.
Data as of September 1, 2025 was presented from 167 patients, of whom 1221 were evaluable for efficacy. The tumor types being investigated were head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC, n=41), cervical cancer (n=37) and locally advanced/metastatic urothelial (mUC, n=23) tumors. In addition, 21 patients who had other solid-tumor types were enrolled during dose escalation.
The multi-center Phase 1/2 study is being conducted in the U.S and Europe. The study was designed as an “all comers” trial with no enrollment restrictions for biomarkers (Nectin-4, PDL-1 or HPV status) or the number of prior lines of therapy. Patients were heavily pretreated with a median of 3 prior lines of therapy (range: 1–9), and the mean age was 60 years (range: 30–90). Baseline performance status, as assessed by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), was ≤2 for all patients, with 43.1% classified as ECOG 0, 55.1% as ECOG 1, and 1.8% as ECOG 2.
---------------------------
1 122 evaluable patients includes 84 patients with either HNSCC, cervical or mUC tumors dosed at 2.7 mg/kg (n=38) or 3.6 mg/kg (n=46), 7 patients with either HNSCC, cervical or mUC tumors dosed during dose escalation at 1.8 mg/kg, 21 patients who had other solid-tumor types that were enrolled during dose escalation, 8 non-evaluable patients, 1 patient with a -60.7% reduction in the size of mUC tumor not included in ORR and DCR calculations due to missing data and 1 patient with a HNSCC tumor dosed with the combination of CRB-701 (at 2.7 mg/kg) and pembrolizumab.
