Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. — Cyborg Score 4/10

Mixed
Cancer immunotherapy development

Strategic Profile

The lead program, ELI-002 7P, is a lymph node-targeted cancer immunotherapy currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 study for mKRAS pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P study did not meet the pre-specified primary endpoint of disease-free survival (DFS) in the intent-to-treat population (June 15, 2026). The company's cash runway is expected to extend into Q4 2026, beyond the anticipated DFS readout.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Elicio has a scientifically promising AMP technology platform with peer-reviewed validation (April 2026 Science Advances publication), but critically, the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial failed to meet its primary DFS endpoint (June 15, 2026). This represents a major setback for the lead program. However, the company retains cash runway into Q4 2026 to pursue next steps and evaluate additional development strategies.
