WATERTOWN, Mass. and GOSSELIES, Belgium, April 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iTeos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITOS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery and development of a new generation of immuno-oncology therapeutics for patients, today announced a poster presentation of preclinical data on EOS-984, a potential first-in-class small molecule inhibitor targeting the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) in oncology, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, being held April 5-10, 2024 in San Diego, California. Based on the Company’s discovery and characterization of ENT1 in adenosine-mediated immunosuppression, this novel mechanism allows for the intracellular accumulation of adenosine, which then suppresses proliferation and effector function of T cells in the high adenosine tumor microenvironment. In mouse models, deletion of ENT1 led to potent control of tumor proliferation and increased CD8+ T cell frequency, proliferation, and cytokine production within tumors, further supporting ENT1’s role in tumor growth. In preclinical studies, blockade of intracellular adenosine accumulation by EOS-984 enabled proliferation of memory T cells and TILs despite high adenosine concentrations, resulting in the restoration of T cell function and enhanced tumor cell killing. Furthermore, combination of EOS-984 with anti-PD-1 therapy synergistically led to the control of tumor growth in a humanized mouse model of triple negative breast cancer resistant to anti-PD-1 blockade. Due to its mechanism of action, EOS-984 holds potential as a combination partner beyond anti-PD-1 therapy, including other immuno-oncology agents, cell therapies, and bispecific T cell engagers. EOS-984 is currently in the dose escalation portion of a Phase 1 trial in advanced malignancies. Topline data from the Phase 1 trial is anticipated in the second half of 2024. Abstracts are available on AACR’s website located at www.aacr.org. Posters will be archived in the Investors section of the Company’s website located at www.iteostherapeutics.com.

About Belrestotug (EOS-448/ GSK4428859A) Belrestotug is an Fc active human immunoglobulin G1, or IgG1, monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting T cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domains (TIGIT), an important inhibitory receptor which contributes to the suppression of innate immune responses against cancer. As an optimized high-affinity, potent anti-TIGIT mAb, belrestotug is designed to enhance the antitumor response through a multifaceted immune modulatory mechanism by engaging with TIGIT and FcγR, a key regulator of immune responses which induces cytokine release and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The therapeutic candidate is progressing in multiple indications in collaboration with GSK. About Inupadenant (EOS-850) Inupadenant is a next-generation small molecule antagonist targeting adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), the primary receptor on immune cells whose activation by adenosine suppresses innate and adaptive immune cell responses leading to inhibition of antitumor responses. Optimized for potency, high selectivity of A2AR, and activity at high adenosine concentrations in solid tumors, inupadenant is uniquely designed with its insurmountable profile to inhibit the ATP-adenosine pathway and has the potential for enhanced antitumor activity as compared to other A2AR antagonists in clinical development. The therapeutic candidate is in Phase 2 development. About EOS-984EOS-984 is a first-in-class small molecule targeting equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) designed to inhibit the immunosuppressive activity of adenosine and restore immune cell proliferation. The therapeutic candidate has the potential to fully reverse the profound immunosuppressive action of adenosine on T and B cells and is in Phase 1 development.
