“We look forward to presenting our DF1001 Phase 1 study results at ASCO,” said Joseph Eid, MD, President of Research and Development at Dragonfly Therapeutics. DF1001 is a first-in-class immune modulating TriNKET targeting HER2 that drives immune activation in solid tumors. DF1001 is also being evaluated in combination with nivolumab or nab paclitaxel.

About DF1001
DF1001 is an investigational first-in-class drug candidate that targets natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell activation signals to co-activating NK receptors, where NKG2D and CD16 co-stimulation yields distinctive and potent NK cell activation. DF1001 is being evaluated in adult patients for the treatment of advanced solid HER2-positive tumors. DF1001 was discovered and developed using Dragonfly’s TriNKET Platform. DF1001 has the potential to stimulate effective anti-tumor immunity in patients who are not eligible or not adequately responding to current therapies. DF1001 is the most advanced in a pipeline of TriNKETs that Dragonfly is developing to address high unmet needs for patients across a broad range of disease areas.
