Researchers from Ambrx Inc. and Novocodex Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data for ARX-305, a next-generation anti-CD70 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), being developed for the treatment of CD70-expressing cancers.
Angiex Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for AGX-101, a novel TM4SF1-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed for the treatment of solid cancers.
Researchers from Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of HLX-42, a next-generation EGFR-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is involved in cancer cell invasion while it acts as a negative regulator of adhesion. EpCAM is overexpressed in several cancer types, such as colorectal, ovarian or gastric cancer, and its expression is associated with a worse prognosis.
NaPi2b is a sodium-dependent phosphate transporter that is mainly responsible for phosphate homeostasis in humans. Overexpression of NaPi2b has been associated with several types of cancers such as lung, ovarian, thyroid or breast carcinomas and thus is considered a therapeutic target to exploit in these conditions.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are effective anti-cancer agents in a wide variety of solid and hematologic cancers. CD30 (TNFRSF8), a member of the TNF receptor superfamily is the target of antibody drug conjugate Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin/BV, Seagen Inc.) approved for use in multiple CD30-expressing lymphomas.
Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. has synthesized antibody-drug conjugates comprising anti-GPC3 antibodies covalently linked to exatecan derivatives through a linker. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Sotio Biotech AS, a company owned by PPF Group, has entered into a license and option agreement with Synaffix BV, a Lonza company, to develop next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of solid tumors.
Medilink Therapeutics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. has entered into a strategic research collaboration and worldwide license agreement with Biontech SE for the development of a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate candidate (ADC) against HER3.
