Elicio Therapeutics Reports Results from Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P Study and Outlines Refined Phase 3 Development Strategy for ELI-002 7P in Adjuvant Pancreatic Cancer

Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. (ELTX)Elicio Therapeutics, Inc.Clinical readout

AMPLIFY-7P did not meet the pre-specified primary endpoint of disease-free survival (“DFS”) in the intent-to-treat population.

Randomization balanced most prognostic factors between arms. However, the ELI-002 7P arm had a higher proportion of R1 resected (higher residual disease, tumor present at or within 1 mm of surgical margin) patients compared with the observation arm (ELI-002 7P 19% vs. observation 10%), a known adverse prognostic factor for recurrence.

R1 patients have increased relapse-risk, implying that this imbalance meaningfully and negatively impacted the ELI-002 arm.

Post-hoc analysis identified a stronger DFS hazard ratio in the R0, completely resected population (post-hoc HR 0.65, p=0.048, ELI-002 7P mDFS 23.8 mo vs observation 12.8 mo, n=121). Absolute recurrence rates observed at 18 months were 9.5% lower for the ELI-002 7P arm.

Lower residual disease (R0 completely resected) patients represented approximately 84% of the AMPLIFY-7P study, indicating potential for a significant population with high unmet need.

Mutant KRAS (“mKRAS”)-specific T cell responses strongly correlated with improved DFS, supporting biological activity of ELI-002 7P (HR 0.22, p9.17x vs <9.17x: HR 0.22, p<0.0001, n=90 evaluable).

ELI-002 7P demonstrated a favorable safety profile with no treatment-related discontinuations or treatment-related deaths. ELI-002 7P treatment was associated with proportionally fewer adverse events than SOC observation.

Phase 3 Development Strategy

Insights from AMPLIFY-7P have enabled Elicio to refine its Phase 3 development strategy, focusing on patients with the greatest potential to benefit from treatment and extending treatment duration to enhance the durability of anti-tumor immunity. Subject to financing, the Company plans to initiate a Phase 3 study with the following key elements:

Enrollment of R0 resected patients following completion of standard locoregional therapy

Additional dosing beyond the initial ELI-002 7P immunization and booster regimen

A registrational study with a primary endpoint of DFS

Cash Runway

As previously guided, the Company expects its current cash and cash equivalents to support planned operations into the fourth quarter of 2026. Elicio is currently evaluating multiple strategic financing and partnership opportunities to advance its planned Phase 3 adjuvant PDAC program and broader AMP platform.

About ELI-002

Elicio’s lead product candidate, ELI-002, is a structurally novel investigational AMP cancer immunotherapy that targets cancers that are driven by mutations in the KRAS-gene—a prevalent driver of many human cancers. ELI-002 is comprised of two powerful components that are built with Elicio’s proprietary AMP technology consisting of AMP-modified mutant KRAS peptide antigens and ELI-004, an AMP-modified CpG oligodeoxynucleotide adjuvant that is available as an off-the-shelf subcutaneous administration.

ELI-002 7P (7-peptide formulation) was evaluated in the randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial in patients with mKRAS-driven pancreatic cancer (NCT05726864). The Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial included patients with mKRAS-positive pancreatic cancer who completed standard therapy but remain at high risk of relapse. Based on topline results and post-hoc analyses, Elicio has refined its Phase 3 development strategy to focus on patients with lower residual disease burden and extended treatment duration. At the time of the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P analysis, data for overall survival remained immature. The ELI-002 7P formulation is designed to provide immune response coverage against seven of the most common KRAS mutations present in 25% of all solid tumors, thereby increasing the potential patient population for ELI-002.

About the AMP Platform

Elicio’s proprietary AMP platform delivers investigational immunotherapy directly to the “brain center” of the immune system – the lymph nodes. Elicio believes this site-specific delivery of disease-specific antigens, adjuvants and other immunomodulators may efficiently educate, activate and amplify critical immune cells, potentially resulting in induction and persistence of potent adaptive immunity required to treat many diseases. In pre-clinical models, Elicio observed lymph node-specific engagement driving therapeutic immune responses of increased magnitude, function and durability. Elicio believes its AMP lymph node-targeted approach will produce superior clinical benefits compared to immunotherapies that do not engage the lymph nodes based on preclinical studies.

Elicio’s AMP platform, originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has broad potential in the cancer space to advance a number of development initiatives through internal activities, in-licensing arrangements or development collaborations and partnerships.

The AMP platform has been shown to deliver immunotherapy directly to the lymph nodes by latching on to the protein albumin, found in the local injection site, as it travels to lymphatic tissue.

About Elicio Therapeutics

Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELTX) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing novel immunotherapies for the treatment of high-prevalence cancers, including mKRAS-positive pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Elicio intends to build on recent clinical findings in the personalized cancer immunotherapy space to develop effective, off-the-shelf immunotherapies. Elicio’s AMP technology aims to enhance the education, activation and amplification of cancer-specific T cells relative to conventional immunotherapy strategies, with the goal of promoting durable cancer immunosurveillance in patients. Elicio’s ELI-002 7P lead program is an off-the-shelf immunotherapy candidate targeting the most common KRAS mutations, which drive approximately 25% of all solid tumors. Off-the-shelf immunotherapy approaches have the potential benefits of low cost, rapid commercial scale manufacturing, and rapid availability of drug to patients, especially in neo-adjuvant settings and for prophylaxis in high-risk patients, contrary to personalized immunotherapy approaches. ELI-002 7P was evaluated in the randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial in patients with mKRAS-positive pancreatic cancer who completed standard therapy, but remain at high risk of relapse. Based on topline results and post-hoc analyses, Elicio has refined its Phase 3 development strategy to focus on patients with lower residual disease burden and extended treatment duration. ELI-002 also has been studied in patients with mKRAS-positive colorectal cancer (“CRC”) in Phase 1 studies. In the future, Elicio plans to expand ELI-002 7P to other indications, including mKRAS positive lung cancer and other mKRAS positive cancers. Elicio’s pipeline includes additional off-the-shelf therapeutic cancer immunotherapy candidates, including ELI-007 and ELI-008, that target BRAF-driven cancers and p53 hotspot mutations, respectively.
