112Background: CD47 delivers an anti-phagocytic (“do not eat”) signal by binding SIRPα on macrophages and is overexpressed on many cancers enabling immune surveillance evasion. TTI-621 is a decoy receptor that promotes phagocytosis of tumors by blocking CD47 and engaging activating FcR on macrophages. A first-in-human, phase 1a, open label, multicenter study (NCT02663518) evaluating safety and tolerability of weekly, intravenous infusions of TTI-621 was conducted. As of October 12, 2016, 18 subjects were treated with TTI-621 with doses of 0.05-0.3 mg/kg. Multiple pharmacodynamic and hematologic assessments were performed to characterize the effects of TTI-621 and better understand the mechanism of action. Methods: Serial blood draws were analyzed for CD47 receptor occupancy (RO), complete blood counts, cytokines, T cell repertoire changes and CD47, SIRPα and FcR sequences. CD47 expression, macrophage and T cell infiltration was assessed on biopsies by IHC. Results: Peripheral CD47 levels varied considerab...
