Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.
Ivonescimab, known as SMT112, is a novel, potential first-in-class investigational bispecific antibody combining immunotherapy via PD-1 blockade with anti-angiogenesis effects by blocking VEGF. It displays unique cooperative binding with higher affinity when both targets are present.
Summit has initiated clinical development of ivonescimab in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with three active Phase III trials:
* HARMONi: Evaluates ivonescimab with chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy in EGFR-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC after 3rd generation EGFR TKI treatment.
* HARMONi-3: Compares ivonescimab with chemotherapy to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in metastatic NSCLC.
* HARMONi-7: Assesses ivonescimab monotherapy versus pembrolizumab monotherapy in first-line metastatic NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression.
Ivonescimab is investigational, not yet approved by regulatory authorities in Summit’s license territories, except for marketing authorization in China (May 2024). It has received Fast Track designation by the FDA for the HARMONi trials.
