About 90% of brain metastases are often limited therapeutically speaking due to the impermeable blood-brain barrier (BBB). Nanocarry Therapeutics Ltd. has presented AxS007, a novel insulin-mediated nanocarrier that delivers multiple copies of trastuzumab and pertuzumab across the BBB, using native insulin as a brain transporter and increasing brain exposure.
Detailed data are expected later, but partners Biontech SE and Duality Biologics Co. Ltd. are celebrating a phase III interim analysis readout demonstrating that HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) trastuzumab pamirtecan hit the primary endpoint of progression-free survival in patients with HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer who have previously received trastuzumab and a taxane-based chemotherapy.

Tanvex Biopharma Inc. said its U.S. subsidiary, Tanvex Biopharma U.S.A. Inc., received an FDA complete response letter (CRL) on Jan. 3 for its TX-05 BLA, a biosimilar that references Roche AG’s Herceptin (trastuzumab). The CRL cites unnamed issues that need to be addressed by the downstream manufacturer of TX-05, which is a third-party service provider of Tanvex U.S. for its drug product.

Celltrion Inc. posted preclinical study results of two new antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidates – CT-P70 and CT-P71 – at the World ADC 2024 conference in San Diego Nov. 6, with plans to move the assets into clinical trials. Poster presentations of both ADC candidates “drew significant attention from the attendees” at the oncology meeting, Incheon, South Korea-based Celltrion said, while highlighting its efforts to transition from a biosimilar maker to a novel therapy developer.

HER2 is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family that is overexpressed in approximately 20% of breast cancers. Trastuzumab, an anti-HER2 antibody discovered 25 years ago has become the standard of care treatment due to its beneficial results.
