OncoMed Announces Multiple Abstracts Related to Anti-TIGIT Program Accepted for Presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2017

Additional Presentations will Highlight New Biomarker and Xenograft Data for Clinical Programs


REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OncoMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:OMED) will present new data related to its clinical and preclinical immuno-oncology and anti-cancer stem cell therapeutic candidates in a total of six presentations at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Meeting to be held April 1-5, 2017 in Washington, DC.

Among the presentations will be three posters detailing preclinical data for OncoMed’s novel anti-TIGIT (OMP-313M32) immuno-oncology therapeutic candidate.  These will be the first data that the company has shared publicly for its anti-TIGIT antibody program.  New data will also be presented on biomarker research associated with the Phase 1b portion of OncoMed’s tarextumab (anti-Notch2/3, OMP-59R5) clinical trial in small cell lung cancer and OncoMed’s preclinical GITRL-Fc trimer (OMP-336B11) program.  In addition, xenograft data will be presented for anti-RSPO3 (OMP-131R10) in combination with taxane chemotherapy in colorectal cancer.

The following abstracts have been selected for presentation by OncoMed scientists:
