Announcement
Cue Biopharma, announced preclinical safety and tolerability data that further supports the preclinical profile of CUE-401, the Company's lead autoimmune asset.
AI Summary
Cue Biopharma reported preclinical safety and tolerability data for CUE-401 from two non‑GLP studies in mice and non‑human primates. Both studies used a step‑up dosing schedule with weekly intravenous doses that increased over time. In the murine study (24 animals, 12 males and 12 females) animals received escalating doses of 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg; all dose levels were well tolerated and no adverse events were observed. In the non‑human primate study (6 animals, 3 males and 3 females) dosing was also escalated weekly and animals likewise showed good tolerability with no reported adverse events.
These proof‑of‑concept results reinforce a promising preclinical profile for CUE-401 and its potential as an autoimmune therapy. The absence of observed toxicities across species and doses supports continued preclinical development and helps inform dose selection and study design for subsequent steps toward clinical testing.

Announcement
Cue Biopharma announced it has received Pre-Investigational New Drug (Pre-IND) feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
AI Summary
Cue Biopharma recently announced it received Pre-Investigational New Drug (Pre-IND) feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The feedback focused on the design of their first-in-human trial, including plans for dose escalation, selecting study groups, and a safety monitoring plan. Based on this information, the company plans to file an IND application after completing the final enabling studies.
The feedback is an important step for Cue Biopharma’s lead candidate, CUE-401, which is designed to treat autoimmune diseases. CUE-401 is a unique bispecific fusion protein that works by inducing and expanding regulatory T cells. This approach uses a combination of a modified interleukin 2 (IL-2) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) to help rebalance the immune system and reduce harmful autoimmune responses.

- Indication:
- HPV+ recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer
Announcement
Cue Biopharma, provided an update on its most advanced clinical stage asset, CUE-101, representative of the CUE-100 series.
AI Summary
Cue Biopharma recently provided an update on its most advanced clinical stage asset, CUE-101, which is part of the CUE-100 series. In the Phase 1 trial, CUE-101 was studied in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with recurrent metastatic HPV-positive head and neck cancer. The trial showed promising results, with an overall response rate (ORR) of 50% in treatment-naïve patients. Additionally, the study reported a 12‑month overall survival rate of 88% and a median overall survival of 32 months. These early results suggest that CUE-101 may help stimulate and expand tumor-specific T cells, potentially offering a stronger immune response against the cancer.
The positive clinical data highlights CUE-101’s potential as a breakthrough approach in cancer therapy, demonstrating enhanced activity compared to historical data for pembrolizumab alone. These findings may support future strategic partnerships and further development of this innovative treatment.

Announcement
Cue Biopharma, announced updated data from its ongoing Phase 1 trial evaluating its lead oncology asset from the CUE-100 series of biologics, CUE-101.
AI Summary
Cue Biopharma announced new update data from its ongoing Phase 1 trial evaluating CUE-101, the lead oncology asset from its CUE-100 series. The trial is testing CUE-101 in combination with the cancer drug pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. In the first-line treatment setting, the combination achieved an impressive overall response rate of 46% and a 12-month overall survival rate of 96%. Additionally, when used as a single agent in patients treated in second line and beyond, CUE-101 led to a median overall survival of 20.8 months, significantly longer than historical results from similar treatments. These promising statistics suggest that CUE-101 may offer an improved treatment alternative, potentially benefiting patients battling this aggressive form of cancer.
