Pipeline
Our initial programs with ALX148 are focused on targeting CD47 across various oncology indications. Many forms of cancer use CD47 expression as a means of evading immune response. We are targeting the hematologic malignancies and solid tumor indications where we believe we have the greatest potential to address large unmet medical needs.
MDS
Myelodysplastic Syndromes
AML
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
NHL
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
HNSCC
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
HNSCC
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Gastric/GEJ
Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
Gastric/GEJ
Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
Clinical Trials
We plan to advance ALX148 for the treatment of MDS, a hematologic malignancy affecting over 70,000 people in the United States.
We also plan to develop ALX148 for the treatment of AML, a hematologic malignancy affecting over 40,000 people in the United States with nearly 20,000 newly diagnosed patients and over 11,000 deaths annually from the disease. Over half of patients are diagnosed at age 65 or older.
ALX148 has generated promising clinical data in solid tumors in combinations with a leading tumor antigen targeting antibody, a leading checkpoint inhibitor and chemotherapy.
We are investigating ALX148 for the first-line treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, or HNSCC. In the United States there are over 38,000 people living with metastatic HNSCC.
We are also investigating ALX148 for the second-line treatment of HER2-positive gastric/gastroesophageal junction, or GEJ, carcinoma. In the United States there are over 25,000 people living with metastatic gastric/GEJ carcinoma.

Expanded Access Policy
ALX Oncology is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on helping patients fight cancer by developing therapies that block the CD47 checkpoint pathway and bridge the innate and adaptive immune system. The goal of our current clinical study program is to enroll patients and obtain clinical data on ALX148 that is required by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities for review and approval of marketing applications for this investigational agent.
We believe that focusing on clinical studies is the most appropriate way to achieve this goal; therefore, we do not currently offer access to ALX148 outside of clinical studies and, at this time, we have no Expanded Access Program (sometimes referred to as “compassionate use” or “pre-approval access”).
