The ENVASARC (NCT 04480502) pivotal trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, non-comparative, parallel cohort study being conducted at approximately 25 top cancer centers in the United States, that is expected to enroll a total of 160 patients with UPS or MFS who have progressed following one or two lines of prior treatment and have not received an immune checkpoint inhibitor, with 80 patients enrolled into cohort A of treatment with single agent envafolimab and 80 patients enrolled in cohort B of treatment with envafolimab and Ipilimumab. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review with duration of response a key secondary endpoint.

About Envafolimab (KN035)

Envafolimab (KN035) is a single domain Fc fusion PD-L1 antibody independently invented by Alphamab Oncology. Based on its unique design that allows rapid subcutaneous injection, it has advantages of improved safety, convenience in drug administration, and treatment compliance. Patients do not require an intravenous infusion which lowers medical costs. On December 20, 2019, Alphamab Oncology, 3D Medicines, and TRACON Pharmaceuticals reached a strategic cooperation, whereby Alphamab Oncology is responsible for production and quality control, and TRACON is responsible for the clinical development and commercialization of KN035 for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas in North America.

At present, Envafolimab (KN035) has been studied in clinical trials for multiple tumor indications in China, the United States and Japan, including registration/phase III clinical trials in multiple indications. Envafolimab (KN035) obtained orphan drug designation from the US FDA for advanced biliary tract cancer and the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted the biologic license application (BLA) for Envafolimab (KN035) in MSI-H/dMMR cancer and granted priority review.
