MacroGenics LINNET Study Partially Lifted by FDA
MacroGenics announced that the U. S. FDA has removed the partial clinical hold on the company's Phase 2 LINNET study of lorigerlimab, an investigational, bispecific DART molecule that targets PD-1 and CTLA-4. During the partial clinical hold, previously enrolled study participants were allowed to continue to receive study drug. Going forward, new participants will be enrolled under a revised protocol that includes additional risk-mitigation measures for potential hematologic and cardiac toxicities. "We are grateful for the productive interaction with the reviewers at the FDA's Office of Oncologic Diseases, as well as the diligent efforts of the MacroGenics team to provide a rapid and comprehensive response to the FDA," said Eric Risser, President and Chief Executive Officer of MacroGenics. "With the partial clinical hold lifted, we intend to resume enrollment of new study participants in the ongoing LINNET study and we remain on track to provide a mid-year clinical update on the program."
