• Phase 1 trial designed to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of VIR-5500 in both early and late-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC)
  • Dose-expansion builds on promising Phase 1 monotherapy dose-escalation data in mCRPC presented in February 2026

Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIR) today announced that the first patient has been dosed in one of three expansion cohorts in the Phase 1 trial evaluating VIR-5500, a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted, PRO-XTEN® dual-masked T-cell engager (TCE) for metastatic prostate cancer (NCT05997615). The Phase 1 trial is measuring the safety and efficacy of VIR-5500 monotherapy in late-line mCRPC, and of VIR-5500 in combination with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) in early-line mCRPC and mHSPC.
