Beijing Innocare Pharma Tech Co. Ltd. has synthesized new antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibody or antigen-binding fragment covalently linked to eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) degradation inducer potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Work at Pheon Therapeutics Ltd. has led to the development of new antibody-drug conjugates comprising an antibody or antigen binding fragment targeting CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1) covalently linked to cytotoxic drug. They are intended for use in the treatment of cancer.
Tacalyx GmbH has selected its first clinical candidate, TCX-201, and secured €11 million (US$12.8 million) in a first closing of its seed extension round to support the program’s progression through preclinical development. TCX-201 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) against an undisclosed tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA).
Astrazeneca AB has reported new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment covalently linked to cytotoxic drug potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Hangzhou DAC Biotechnology Co. Ltd. reported preclinical efficacy data for DXC-016, a next-generation, subcutaneously administered, dual-payload c-Met-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) derived from the DXA-016 anti-c-Met nanobody.
Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TROP2) is a transmembrane glycoprotein involved in different signaling pathways that promote proliferation, migration and invasion of tumoral cells, and its overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in multiple cancer types. Astellas Pharma Inc. has developed a TROP2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), ASP-2998, and recently presented preclinical data on the candidate.
Taiho Oncology Inc., Taiho Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Araris Biotech AG have announced completion by the FDA of the IND review period for ARC-02, enabling initiation of a phase I trial by Taiho Oncology.
Codeable Therapeutics Inc. has developed new antibody-drug conjugates comprising an antibody covalently linked to a cytotoxic drug for potential use in the treatment of cancer.
Scientists from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., Shanghai Senhui Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Shengdi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have disclosed antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies covalently linked camptothecin derivatives through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
An advantage of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is that they allow targeted delivery of cytotoxic agents into tumors, thus improving the therapeutic index. Pfizer Inc. has developed a new ADC, PF-08046033, that contains auristatin S (AurS) as the cytotoxic payload and targets transmembrane glycoprotein NMB (GPNMB).
