ROCKVILLE, Md., March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MacroGenics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGNX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today provided an update on its recent corporate progress, reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, and highlighted anticipated data disclosure timelines for its product pipeline.
“I am excited about MacroGenics' future prospects, and am inspired by the commitment of our employees over the past few quarters to sharpen our focus and advance our strategic priorities," said Eric Risser, President and CEO of MacroGenics. "Looking ahead, we anticipate several important milestones in 2026, including initial clinical data from the Phase 1 studies of MGC026 and MGC028, and from the LINNET study of lorigerlimab. Additionally, we plan to submit an IND for MGC030, a first-in-class topoisomerase I inhibitor-based ADC. Finally, with cash runway into late 2027, we believe we are well positioned to execute on our plan and drive meaningful value for our shareholders."
Corporate Progress and Anticipated Milestones
Innovative ADC Pipeline
MacroGenics is developing potential best-in-class or first-in-class antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that leverage its protein engineering expertise and incorporate potent glycan-linked exatecan payloads designed to enable an expanded therapeutic window. The proprietary drug-linker platform is licensed from Synaffix B.V., a Lonza company.
MacroGenics' two clinical-stage ADC programs, MGC026 and MGC028, have demonstrated acceptable safety profiles to date, with no observations of interstitial lung disease, as well as encouraging early evidence of anti-tumor activity by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).
Lorigerlimab
The LINNET study is a Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating lorigerlimab, a PD-1 × CTLA-4 bispecific DART® molecule, in patients with either platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) or clear cell gynecologic cancer (CCGC). As previously announced, the FDA has placed a partial clinical hold on the LINNET study, and no new patients are being enrolled while the hold remains in effect. MacroGenics is working closely with the FDA to resolve the partial clinical hold as soon as possible. MacroGenics continues to plan for a clinical update in mid-2026.
