Gamgertamig data from ongoing Phase 1b studies suggest potential to retain remission after B cell reconstitution, maintained in the absence of background therapy for autoimmune cytopenias, consistent with an “immune reset”
Lakefront to host investor conference call on Monday, December 14 at 8 AM ET
Mechelen, Belgium; November 4, 2026, 15.01 CET – Lakefront Biotherapeutics NV (Euronext & NASDAQ: LKFT) today announced the acceptance of a poster presentation at the 2026 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting taking place on December 12-15 in New Orleans, LA.
“Prior to acquiring Ouro together with Gilead, we recognized gamgertamig’s potential to change clinical practice for patients with chronic and refractory autoimmune cytopenias, based primarily on results from investigator-sponsored trials. It is exciting to explore the predictability of robust responses, and the potential for immune reset-type activity, in results from company-sponsored trials sponsored by both Lakefront and our China-based partner, Keymed,” said Eric Hedrick, Chief Medical Officer of Lakefront. “We are looking forward to sharing updated data at ASH.”

About Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare, autoantibody-driven disease that results in the premature destruction of platelets, causing thrombocytopenia and an increased risk of bruising and bleeding. ITP affects approximately 120,000 people in the U.S. Beyond bleeding risk, people with chronic ITP often experience significant fatigue and reduced quality of life, along with side effects associated with long-term corticosteroid or immunosuppressive therapy. Despite currently available treatments, significant unmet need remains for therapies that provide safe and durable responses.
About Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA)
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a serious hematologic disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies that target and destroy red blood cells. AIHA affects an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 people in the U.S. Warm AIHA (wAIHA) is the most common form of AIHA, accounting for approximately 80% of cases, while cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is less prevalent. Common symptoms include fatigue, anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly, and, in severe cases, thromboembolism and cardiovascular complications. Despite recent advances in treatment, substantial unmet need remains for additional therapies that provide durable responses and improved long-term disease control.
About Gamgertamig
Gamgertamig is an investigational BCMAxCD3 bispecific T cell engager for the treatment of autoantibody-driven immune-mediated disease. Gamgertamig has been granted Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for certain autoimmune diseases. Gamgertamig is expected to enter registrational studies in 2027. Gamgertamig is in-licensed from Keymed Biosciences, which owns the rights to develop the program in Greater China.
