BAY 1905254 Exhibits Anti-Tumor Activity as a Monotherapy in Various Mouse Models
The data was highlighted in a Bayer poster presentation titled "Discovery and preclinical characterization of BAY 1905254" a novel immune checkpoint inhibitor for cancer immunotherapy targeting the immunoglobulin-like domain containing receptor-2 (ILDR2). The data demonstrated that BAY 1905254 exhibits anti-tumor activity as a monotherapy in various mouse models and was also shown to have additive/synergistic anti-tumor effects in combination with other cancer therapy approaches, indicating the possibility for multiple combination approaches for use in cancer immunotherapy.
ILDR2 is a Completely New Immune Checkpoint that Compugen has Discovered through its Computational Discovery Capabilities
Anat Cohen-Dayag, PhD, President and CEO of Compugen, stated that this is an exciting time for Compugen as it has become a clinical stage drug discovery and development company with two immuno-oncology programs advancing into the clinic this year, an internally developed program targeting PVRIG and an antibody targeting ILDR2 developed in collaboration with Bayer.
Anat added that ILDR2 is a completely new immune checkpoint that the Company has discovered through its computational discovery capabilities. This immune checkpoint, together with the discovery of TIGIT and PVRIG, clearly demonstrate the power and value of Compugen's predictive discovery capabilities in the discovery of new drug targets and pathways, enabling the development of first-in-class product opportunities.
Compugen-Bayer Collaboration
In August 2013, Compugen entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Bayer for the research, development, and commercialization of antibody-based therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy against two novel Compugen-discovered immune checkpoint regulators, BAY 1905254 (formerly CGEN- 15001T) and CGEN-15022. Under the terms of the agreement, Bayer and Compugen have jointly pursued a preclinical research program. Bayer has taken full control over further development and have worldwide commercialization rights for potential cancer therapeutics for one of the programs, BAY 1905254, for which preclinical stage milestones have been achieved and preclinical development is on track. In July 2016, all rights to CGEN-15022 were returned to Compugen.

BAY 1905254 has a broad preclinical data package supporting its unique mode-of-action and therapeutic potential.
