HighField Biopharmaceuticals Announces Two Abstracts Accepted for the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting

The company is developing next generation lipid-based structures that kill cancer cells and expose cancer to the immune system

HighField Biopharmaceuticals, a clinical stage immuno-oncology company using lipid-based therapeutics to treat cancer, announced today that two HighField abstracts have been accepted with one poster presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting May 31-June 4, 2024, in Chicago, IL.

“The ASCO meeting is an important opportunity to share our unique lipid-based technology with other clinical investigators,” said Yuhong Xu, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of HighField. “Our lipid-based structures represent a new generation of therapeutics targeting the tumor microenvironment for a broad range of cancers.”

The abstracts reflect Phase 1 clinical trials of two kinds of lipid-based therapeutics. HFK1 is a drug encapsulated immunoliposome containing doxorubicin for patients with advanced refractory solid tumors having HER2 low and HER2+ expression. HER2 expressing solid tumors include breast, bladder, pancreatic, ovarian, stomach, colon, prostate, lung, uterus and cervix cancers. HF1K16 is a drug encapsulated immune modulating liposome containing all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) for patients with recurrent and refractory glioma.
