FDA Lifts Partial Hold On Alpine Immune's Davoceticept Combo Trial In Advanced Cancer

Alpine FDA Nasdaq
  • The FDA has removed the partial clinical hold placed on Alpine Immune Sciences Inc's (NASDAQ:ALPN) NEON-2 trial of davoceticept (ALPN-202) in advanced malignancies.
  • Davoceticept is a first-in-class conditional CD28 costimulator and a dual checkpoint inhibitor.
  • The partial clinical hold was prompted by Alpine's report of patient death in the NEON-2 trial. 
  • The trial is evaluating davoceticept combined with Merck & Co Inc's (NYSE:MRK) Keytruda (pembrolizumab).

  • The FDA removed the hold after a review of the company's Complete Response, which included a comprehensive review of the davoceticept safety database and a revised investigator brochure and study protocol. 
  • The ongoing NEON-1 study of davoceticept as monotherapy was not subject to the hold.
  • Price Action: ALPN shares are up 2.53% at $8.51 during the premarket session on the last check Tuesday.
