PARIS, March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enterome, a clinical-stage company developing first-in-class immunomodulatory drugs for solid and liquid malignancies and inflammatory diseases based on its unique Mimicry platform, today announced that data on its novel OncoMimics™ approach to cancer immunotherapy will be presented in a poster at the upcoming American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, taking place April 5-10 in San Diego, California. The poster will be presented by Dr. Vincent Panneton, Postdoctoral Associate in Pharmacology at the Ludwig Collaborative Laboratory led by Dr. Taha Merghoub and Dr. Jedd Wolchok at Weill Cornell Medicine. Research conducted by Weill Cornell Medicine and Enterome shows that in animal models microbiome-derived antigenic peptides (OncoMimics™ peptides), selected for their mimicry of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and neoantigens, effectively trigger cytotoxic T-cell immune responses. Through tumor challenge experiments with OncoMimics™ and checkpoint inhibitors, the researchers have also identified key parameters that enable them to predict the cross-reactive potential of OncoMimics™ peptides and facilitate the development of novel cancer immunotherapies. “We are pleased to announce the presentation of these promising preclinical data which provide novel insights into the design of OncoMimics™ peptides for both neoantigens and tumor-associated antigens. These results serve as an early validation of our approach to novel cancer immunotherapies,” said Laurent Chêne, Head of Drug Discovery at Enterome. Poster presentation details – Abstract 4090 Title: “Gut Microbiota Mimics as a Source of Cross-Reactive Tumor Rejection Antigens” The abstract will be published in an online supplement to Cancer Research, the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, on March 22nd, and the poster will be available on Enterome’s website after the AACR Meeting. About OncoMimics™ OncoMimics™ immunotherapies are designed to activate pre-existing effector memory T cells that target bacterial (non-self) peptides, which are strongly cross-reactive against selected Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAAs), or B cell markers expressed on tumoral cells, resulting in a rapid, targeted cytotoxic response against cancer.

Enterome is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing breakthrough immunomodulatory drugs for the treatment of cancer and immune diseases. Enterome’s pioneering approach to drug discovery is based on its unique and powerful bacterial Mimicry drug discovery platform, which allows it to analyze and uncover new biological insights from the millions of gut bacterial proteins in constant cross-talk with the human body. Enterome’s first-in-class small protein and peptide drug candidates modulate the immune system by closely mimicking the structure, effect or actions of specific antigens, hormones, or cytokines. The company’s two pipelines of drug candidates include:
Enterome employs 70 people and is headquartered in Paris, France. Since its inception, the company has raised a total of €118 million from Europe- and US-based life science investors and more than €100 million from pharmaceutical partnerships.
