Partnerships
Let’s co-create to deliver cutting-edge solutions
We believe that combining forces will help us deliver innovative solutions at an accelerated pace.
IGI invites collaboration with partners who share the same
belief and can complement our capabilities to propel forward innovations in cancer therapy.
We seek to collaborate through, both, out-licensing and in-licensing opportunities.
Partnerships for Oncology Pipeline
IGI is committed to advancing its clinical-stage oncology portfolio. We would like to join hands with partners who can help us fast-track our mission of bringing innovative therapeutics to patients with hematologic cancers and solid tumors.

PHASE
ISB 2001 is first TREATTM Trispecific Antibody for
Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
- BCMA and CD38 are expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and are clinically validated targets.
- ISB 2001 combines three proprietary Fab arms binding to CD3 on T-cells, and to BCMA and CD38 on myeloma cells.
- In vitro studies showed increased killing potency of tumor cells compared to all tested antibodies, including currently approved and investigational multiple myeloma therapies.
- In vivo studies in multiple myeloma models also show superior potency relative to antibodies for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
- ISB 2001 redirects CD3+ T lymphocytes to kill tumor cells expressing from low
to high levels of both BCMA and CD38. - With two different tumor-associated antigens, ISB 2001 is expected to be more resistant to antigen escape associated with treatment of MM patients
. - CLINICAL DATA
Clinical Data from part I (dose escalation) of the TRIgnite-1 study were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June 2025 (Link). The results demonstrated high overall response rates, with deep and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma – regardless of prior exposure to T-cell engagers (TCE) or CART-cell therapies. The safety profile was favorable, with most side effects being low-grade and manageable.
GRC 65327 A Novel Small Molecule
Selective Oral Cbl-b Inhibitor Immunotherapeutics
- Selective, small molecule, orally available, Cbl-b inhibitor, phase I-ready for solid tumor indications.
- Demonstrated nM Cbl-b activity, >20-fold selectivity, potentiation of IL-2 and IFN-γ and T cells proliferation.
- Significant tumor growth inhibition as a monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD1, while also inducing durable complete responses associated with memory immune responses.
- In a 1-month GLP monkey toxicology study, an increased T cells activation and infiltration was observed in mesenteric lymph nodes (a tissue immune response) at very low exposures of AUC ~1500 ng.h/mL and above.
- IND submission to DCGI completed in October 2024

PHASE
ISB 1442 - Triple Mechanism of Tumor-Cell Killing
Enhanced ADCP, ADCC and CDC
- Dual binding to CD38 and CD47 epitopes, increasing avidity relative to daratumumab
- Two Fab regions drive binding to distinct CD38 epitopes that don’t compete functionally with daratumumab
- One arm blocks CD47-SIRPa binding on tumor cells to enhance ADCP
- Enhanced phagocytosis by blocking CD47 and increasing activation signaling through FcγR binding
- CD47 is over-expressed by hematologic tumors and associated with worse prognosis
- Reduced potential for antigen sink with lower-affinity Fab binding to CD47 expressed on healthy cells
- Potent ADCC, CDC and ADCP based on optimized affinity, architecture/avidity and enhanced
Fc function
- Optimized tolerability with low potential for adverse effects on red blood cells such as hemagglutination, platelet aggregation
- ISB 1442 was granted Orphan Drug Designation for Multiple Myeloma by the U.S. FDA
