HARP Harpoon Therapeutics Inc

Harpoon Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HARP), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing novel T cell engagers, today announced that it will present data from five preclinical investigations in poster presentations at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting being held in Orlando, Fla., April 14-19, 2023.

“The breadth of data from Harpoon’s five poster presentations at AACR supports further investigation of additional tumor targets, combination approaches with TriTACs®, as well as our next-generation technology platform with conditionally active T cell engager prodrugs, or ProTriTACs™,” said Julie Eastland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harpoon Therapeutics. “Additionally, the preclinical data investigating the activity of TriTAC in an immunocompetent mouse model provide further validation of our ongoing and planned clinical efforts with HPN328 and HPN217, leveraging our proprietary TriTAC T cell engager platform. We look forward to further validation in the clinic as our research efforts continue.”

Details of the AACR poster presentations are as follows:

About Harpoon Therapeutics

Harpoon Therapeutics is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing a novel class of T cell engagers that harness the power of the body’s immune system to treat patients suffering from cancer and other diseases. T cell engagers are engineered proteins that direct a patient’s own T cells to kill target cells that express specific proteins, or antigens, carried by the target cells. Using its proprietary Tri-specific T cell Activating Construct (TriTAC®) platform, Harpoon is developing a pipeline of novel TriTACs initially focused on the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Harpoon has also developed a proprietary ProTriTAC™ platform, which applies a prodrug concept to its TriTAC platform to create a therapeutic T cell engager that remains inactive until it reaches the tumor. Harpoon’s third proprietary technology platform, extended release TriTAC-XR, is designed to mitigate cytokine release syndrome.
