Cantargia is a clinical-stage biotech company based in Sweden. It is developing two assets against IL1RAP, CAN04 and CAN10. CAN04 is being studied in several solid tumours with a main focus on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer. The most advanced trial is in Phase II.
Understanding of inflammation in cancer indicates that cytokines are produced not only by immune cells, but also by cancer cells to evade immune responses, making cytokines promising oncology targets. Further, recent Phase II data for AbbVie’s lutikizumab has increased interest in Cantargia’s CAN10, as it blocks IL-33 and IL-36 in addition to IL-1.

Cantargia is developing antibodies against IL1RAP. Interim data from CANFOUR (Phase Ib/IIa) in NSCLC and PDAC suggest that nadunolimab could be synergistic with chemotherapy; the latest update (ESMO 2024) showed encouraging survival data in 40 NSCLC patients. Supportive clinical/biomarker data for PDAC have also been reported and Cantargia is preparing for a Phase IIb trial in PDAC. It shared positive data from TRIFOUR (Phase Ib portion), assessing nadunolimab in triple-negative breast cancer; the Phase II portion is ongoing with initial results expected in H125. A new Phase Ib/IIa clinical trial for nadunolimab in leukaemia is expected to start in Q424. A second programme, CAN10 (Phase I), is ongoing in autoimmune diseases. Following encouraging safety/biomarker data from the SAD cohort, the MAD part of CAN10 is now underway. At end-Q224, Cantargia had c SEK105m in cash and short-term investments.
