HAMPTON, N.J., June 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celldex (NASDAQ:CLDX) today presented positive results from the Phase 1 healthy participant study of CDX-622, a novel, bispecific antibody that targets soluble SCF and TSLP, at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Annual Meeting in Istanbul, Türkiye. Data demonstrated that CDX-622 induced rapid, durable, dose-dependent reductions in serum tryptase, indicative of mast cell depletion, and was well-tolerated at all dose levels. Building on Celldex’s leadership in mast cell science, the data also demonstrated that neutralizing soluble stem cell factor (SCF) enables the potential for meaningful mast cell inhibition and depletion without impacting other KIT-dependent functions. CDX-622 is currently being studied in a Phase 1b proof of mechanism study in mild to moderate asthma to assess the impact of dual neutralization of SCF and TSLP.
