- New pre-specified analyses from the randomized Phase 2 study will further characterize the clinical potential of ELI-002 7P (camupepimut) in adjuvant pancreatic cancer
- Findings are expected to inform a refined Phase 3 development strategy
BOSTON, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELTX) ("Elicio" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation immunotherapies for KRAS-driven cancers, today announced that new pre-specified analyses from the randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P study of ELI-002 7P in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ("PDAC") have been selected for a late-breaking Proffered Paper oral presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology ("ESMO") Congress 2026, being held October 23-27, 2026, in Madrid, Spain.
"We are pleased to share the complete AMPLIFY-7P results, including new late-breaking analyses, with the global oncology community at ESMO Congress 2026," said Robert Connelly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Elicio. "These findings deepen our understanding of ELI-002 7P's clinical and biological activity and provide important direction as we refine the development strategy for a potential Phase 3 study in adjuvant pancreatic cancer."

Date and Time: October 23, 2026, 13:30-15:00 PM, CEST / 7.30-9 AM EST
Location: Almeria Auditorium- Hall 9
The late-breaking abstract will be available via the ESMO Congress 2026 website beginning at 00:05 CEST on October 23, 2026, the day of the presentation. Subject to presenter permission, a webcast of the session will be available on ESMO Congress 2026 Virtual Platform within 12 hours following the session.
About the AMPLIFY-7P Phase 2 Study
AMPLIFY-7P is a randomized Phase 2 study evaluating ELI-002 7P versus observation in patients with mKRAS-driven PDAC following completion of standard therapy. The study enrolled 144 patients across 24 U.S. clinical sites.
While the study did not meet its pre-specified primary disease-free survival ("DFS") endpoint in the intent-to-treat population, subsequent analyses have provided important insights into the clinical and biological activity of ELI-002 7P and informed the Company's continued evaluation of the program.
At ESMO Congress 2026, Elicio will present new pre-specified analyses from AMPLIFY-7P that provide additional insights into the potential clinical benefit of ELI-002 7P and are expected to further inform the Company's refined Phase 3 development strategy in adjuvant pancreatic cancer.
About ELI-002
Elicio's lead product candidate, ELI-002, is a structurally novel investigational Amphiphile ("AMP") cancer immunotherapy that targets cancers driven by mutations in the KRAS gene, a prevalent driver of many human cancers. ELI-002 is comprised of AMP-modified mutant KRAS peptide antigens and ELI-004, an AMP-modified CpG oligodeoxynucleotide adjuvant, and is available as an off-the-shelf subcutaneous administration.
ELI-002 7P, the seven-peptide formulation, was evaluated in the randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial in patients with mKRAS-driven pancreatic cancer. The ELI-002 7P formulation is designed to provide immune response coverage against seven of the most common KRAS mutations present across multiple solid tumors.
About Elicio Therapeutics
Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELTX) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing next-generation immunotherapies for the treatment of KRAS-driven cancers, including mKRAS-positive pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Elicio intends to build on recent clinical findings in the personalized cancer immunotherapy space to develop effective, off-the-shelf immunotherapies.
Elicio's AMP technology aims to enhance the education, activation and amplification of cancer-specific T cells relative to conventional immunotherapy strategies, with the goal of promoting durable cancer immunosurveillance in patients. Elicio's ELI-002 7P lead program is an off-the-shelf immunotherapy candidate targeting the most common KRAS mutations, which drive approximately 25% of all solid tumors.
Off-the-shelf immunotherapy approaches have the potential benefits of low cost, rapid, commercial-scale manufacturing and rapid availability of drug to patients, especially in neoadjuvant settings and for prophylaxis in high-risk patients, contrary to personalized immunotherapy approaches.
Elicio's pipeline includes additional off-the-shelf therapeutic cancer immunotherapy candidates, including ELI-007 and ELI-008, which target BRAF-driven cancers and p53 hotspot mutations, respectively.
