Webinar to be held Monday, September 12, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. ET

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 8, 2022 – Bicara Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing dual-action biologics designed to elicit a potent and durable immune response in the tumor microenvironment, today announced that it will host a virtual webinar to review the latest clinical trial data for BCA101, a first-in-class EGFR/TGFβ-trap bifunctional antibody designed to deliver superior anti-tumor efficacy with an improved therapeutic window to solid tumors. The webinar will be held Monday, September 12, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. ET.

During the webinar, Dr. Glenn Hanna, principal investigator from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, will review the Phase 1 data presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022.

About BCA101

BCA101 is a first-in-class EGFR / TGF-β-trap bifunctional antibody designed to enhance both innate and adaptive immune responses directly at the site of the tumor by binding to the well-validated EGFR antigen and disabling TGF-β, a signaling molecule that plays a key role in suppressing the immune response in the tumor microenvironment. Promising preclinical data suggest that BCA101 is superior to the anti-EGFR antibody cetuximab in preventing tumor recurrence, as well as in restoring immune activation. An ongoing Phase 1/1b clinical trial of BCA101, initiated in July 2020, has enrolled cohorts of patients in a dose-escalation study with BCA101 as a single agent, as well as in combination with pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor and a recommended dose for expansion has been declared. Enrollment in the dose expansion arm of the study in first-line head and neck in combination with pembrolizumab is currently ongoing.
