​Ambrx Biopharma Inc., or Ambrx, (NYSE: AMAM), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company using its proprietary Engineered Precision Biologics (EPBs) platform to create antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), today announced that it will host a virtual analyst and investor day on February 24 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm ET.

The event will feature discussions from oncology experts Hope S. Rugo, M.D., FASCO, (Professor of Hematology and Oncology, Director of Breast Oncology and Clinical Trials at the University of California, San Francisco), and Paula R. Pohlmann, M.D., M.S., Ph.D., (MD Anderson Cancer Center).

Dr. Rugo is a co-investigator on Ambrx’s ACE-Breast-03 clinical trial, a Phase 2 study of ARX788, Ambrx’s proprietary anti-HER2 targeting ADC, in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer whose disease is resistant or refractory to T-DM1, and/or T-DXd, and/or tucatinib-containing regimens. Dr. Rugo will discuss the current treatment landscape and unmet medical need for patients with HER2 positive breast cancer, her clinical experience with ARX788 and the potential treatment solution that ARX788 may provide in the post-Enhertu HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patient population.

Dr. Pohlmann is an investigator on I-SPY 2.2, where ARX788 is currently being evaluated as a neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment and Dr. Pohlmann will provide an overview of I-SPY 2.2 and discuss ARX788’s participation in the study. The I-SPY series of trials are changing the way new treatments are developed for breast cancer, helping make new, better and more personalized treatments, available faster. At the heart of the I-SPY program is the ground-breaking I-SPY 2.2 platform trial for neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced breast cancer.

The Ambrx management team will also provide a data update for APEX-01 (NCT04662580), a first-in-human multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ARX517, Ambrx’s proprietary, fully humanized anti-PSMA ADC in prostate cancer patients who have progressed on at least two prior FDA-approved treatments.

A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentations.

Ambrx’s Analyst and Investor Day will be a virtual event webcast for the capital markets community, media, individual investors and other interested parties.

A replay of the event will be available on the Investor Relations section of Ambrx website (www.ambrx.com) after the event. Corresponding presentation materials will also be available for download at the Company's website following the event.
