Background

SRF231 is a High Affinity CD47 Antibody with Slow Off Rate andNo Agglutinating Properties

SRF231 Exerts Antitumor Activity Through Phagocytosis and Cell Death

Single-Dose Administration of SRF231 in the Raji Xenograft Model Leads to Sustained Antitumor Activity,Cytokine Induction, Macrophage Infiltration, and Tumor Necrosis

SRF231-Induced Antitumor Activity is Dependent on Fc Engagement of FcγRIIa (CD32a)

SRF231 Retains Antitumor Activity in Washout Conditions & Sub-Maximal Receptor Occupancy is Sufficient for Maximal Activity

Conclusions

• CD47 is a transmembrane protein that acts as a “Don’t Eat Me” signal to evade immune recognition

• CD47 is overexpressed in multiple cancer subtypes and is associated with poor prognosis

• Several anti-CD47 molecules designed to antagonize the CD47 axis are being tested in the clinic

• Preclinical characteristics and antitumor mechanisms of the investigational agent SRF231, a fully human antibody targeting CD47, are described

• SRF231 is a high affinity, CD47-targeting antibody that delivers an activating signal to myeloid cells via CD32a

• SRF231 is a high affinity, CD47-targeting antibody with no agglutinating properties• SRF231 elicits antitumor activity via apoptosis and phagocytosis involving macrophage engagement in a manner dependent on the FcγR, CD32a• SRF231 displays favorable preclinical characteristics regarding its RO/tumor exposure/efficacy relationship• SRF231 is currently being evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial [NCT03512340] in advanced solid tumors and lymphomas
