- Company Will Discuss Data and Report First Quarter 2026 Financial Results on May 8 -
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. ("ALX Oncology"; Nasdaq: ALXO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of novel therapies designed to treat cancer and extend patients’ lives, today announced that new data from the Phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating the company’s investigational CD47-inhibitor evorpacept in combination with Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ zanidatamab (ZIIHERA®) in heavily pretreated patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) will be presented at the ESMO Breast Cancer 2026 Congress in Berlin on May 7.
The ESMO Breast Cancer poster presentation will highlight data from exploratory analyses conducted to identify biomarkers predictive of response to the evorpacept + zanidatamab regimen.
The Company also announced it will report first quarter 2026 financial results on Friday, May 8, 2026, before market open. Management will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET to review Q1 financial results, and guest speaker Sara Hurvitz, M.D., Professor, Senior Vice President and Director, Clinical Research Division and Smith Family Endowed Chair in Women’s Health at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, will discuss and share her perspective on the ESMO Breast Cancer clinical data.
The ESMO Breast Cancer presentation will feature data from an exploratory biomarker analysis of patients with HER2-positive mBC in the evorpacept + zanidatamab Phase 1b/2 trial. Topline data from this analysis, which ALX Oncology announced in January 2026, indicate that the responses were largely restricted to patients with higher CD47 expression. These results reinforce data from the ASPEN-06 clinical trial, which previously demonstrated that CD47 expression could potentially serve as an important predictive biomarker for response and durable benefit in patients with advanced gastric cancer who retained HER2 expression.
