PHILADELPHIA, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Context Therapeutics Inc. (“Context” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CNTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing T cell engaging (“TCE”) bispecific antibodies for solid tumors, today announced positive interim Phase 1 clinical data for its CLDN6 x CD3 T cell engaging bispecific antibody, CTIM-76, in advanced, late-line platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (“PROC”). The data are as of a May 29, 2026 data cutoff from the ongoing CTIM-76 Phase 1 study.
“We are encouraged by the continued development of CTIM-76 as a potentially best-in-class CLDN6 T cell engager that may offer a much-needed new therapeutic approach for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer,” said Martin Lehr, Chief Executive Officer of Context. “In our first clinical presentation of dose-escalation data, weekly administration of CTIM-76 produced compelling anti-tumor activity and a well-tolerated safety profile in heavily pretreated patients, many of whom had extensive prior exposure to antibody-drug conjugates. Building on this encouraging data, we have advanced into the next phase of development, where we will evaluate CTIM-76 administered every three weeks (“Q3W”). These results are expected to inform subsequent Phase 1b dose expansion in 2027.”
CTIM-76 Phase 1a Interim Data Summary:
- 21 patients with PROC (n=14), testicular (n=4), and endometrial (n=3) cancer were treated with CTIM-76 at doses ranging from 22.5µg to 560µg every week (“QW”).
- At the active doses of 140µg to 280µg, 13 patients were treated in total, 10 of whom were efficacy evaluable, having had at least one post-baseline tumor assessment as of the data cutoff.
- 560µg exceeded target exposures with QW dosing and was not pursued further.
PROC Patient Characteristics:
- Patients (n=9) received a median of 7 prior lines of therapy (range 5-16).
- Prior patient treatments included ADC (89%), checkpoint inhibitor (55%), VEGF (100%), or DNA repair agent (78%).
- 44% of patients had liver metastases.
Efficacy Results:
- As of the data cutoff, 7 PROC patients were efficacy-evaluable at doses of 140µg to 280µg.
- Overall response rate (ORR): 29% of PROC patients (2/7) achieved confirmed partial RECIST v. 1.1 responses.
- Disease control rate (DCR)1: 57% (4/7)
- In early cohort patients who achieved confirmed stable disease or partial response, treatment durability was sustained for at least 6 months (n=3).
Safety Results:
- At active dose levels, CTIM-76 produced a favorable safety profile that is consistent with the expected mechanism of action for a T cell engager and supports continued clinical development.
- Adverse events generally occurred during the first or second dose and were predominantly low grade, with the majority of events reported as Grade 1 or Grade 2 and reversible with standard management.
- CRS events were infrequent and limited to Grade 1 (11%, n=1/9) at active dose levels in PROC patients, which may be supportive of outpatient dosing in future trials.
Pharmacokinetic Results:
- Approximately dose-dependent increases in CTIM-76 exposure with increasing dose level.
- Preliminary PK supports exploration of Q3W dosing schedule.

About CTIM-76
CTIM-76 is a CLDN6 x CD3 T cell engaging bispecific antibody. CLDN6 is enriched in a wide range of solid tumors, including ovarian, endometrial, lung, gastric, and testicular. Preclinical research suggests the potential for convenient dosing with low immunogenicity risk and scalable manufacturing to address the significant number of patients who are potentially eligible for CTIM-76 therapy. More information about the CTIM-76 clinical trial (NCT06515613) can be found on https://clinicaltrials.gov/.
