Elicio Therapeutics Announces Late-Breaking Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P Data Selected for Proffered Paper Oral Presentation at ESMO Congress 2026

• 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.”

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.
