Context Therapeutics Announces Poster Presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025
PHILADELPHIA, March 26, 2025 (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 a poster regarding the Company’s clinical asset, CT-95, a mesothelin (“MSLN”) x CD3 TCE will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025, taking place April 25-30, 2025 in Chicago, IL.
Context will present data highlighting the selection of the first-in-human dose of CT-95, using the minimal anticipated biological effect level (“MABEL”) approach, as required for immune agonist drugs. This is the dose level expected to lead to a minimal biological effect level in humans. The weight of evidence of these data supports the safety of the proposed clinical starting dose of 0.1 μg/kg for CT-95.

About CT-95
CT-95 is a MSLN x CD3 TCE that is intended to redirect T-cell-mediated lysis toward malignant cells expressing MSLN. MSLN is a membrane protein overexpressed in approximately 30% of cancers. One challenge in developing MSLN-targeted therapies has been the presence of MSLN fragments, also referred to as shed or soluble MSLN, found in both blood and the tumor microenvironment that can serve as a decoy or sink for MSLN-targeting antibodies. CT-95 is a fully humanized bispecific T cell engager that has a moderate affinity but high avidity for membrane-bound MSLN, that is intended to minimize the impact of the shed MSLN.
