ALX Oncology says Phase 2 ASPEN-06 study shows 40.3% response rate for evorpacept combo in HER2-positive gastric cancer
  • ALX Oncology reported already-published Phase 2 ASPEN-06 data in Nature Medicine for evorpacept in previously treated HER2-positive gastric cancer.
  • The regimen delivered stronger tumor shrinkage and longer-lasting benefit than standard therapy, with the largest gains in a biomarker-defined subgroup.
  • Findings supported CD47 expression as a potential patient-selection marker, reinforcing the company’s biomarker-driven development strategy.
  • ALX chose not to pursue a U.S. registrational Phase 3 path in gastric cancer, shifting focus toward potential partnerships for that program.
  • Management kept its mid-2027 target for a topline readout from 80 patients in the ongoing Phase 2 ASPEN-09-Breast trial.
