Electra Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company developing antibody therapies against novel targets for immunological diseases and cancer, announced the presentation of positive results from the completed Phase 1b study of ELA026 for the treatment of secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH). ELA026 is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody that targets SIRP-α/β1/γ on the cell surface of myeloid cells and T lymphocytes, the principal pathological immune cells that induce the cytokine storm and hyperinflammation in sHLH. Targeting SIRP to selectively deplete pathogenic immune cells has potential for broad therapeutic applications in immunology, inflammation and cancer. The results of the ELA026 study in sHLH are being presented today at 2:45 PM PST in an oral session at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.
