Folate receptor α (FOLR1) is highly expressed in the surface of tumoral cells in several cancer types, while it shows limited expression in normal tissues. CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has developed a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting FOLR1 – SYS-6041 – for the treatment of mid-to-low FOLR1-expressing tumors.
Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a protein found in the tight junctions of epithelial cells to modulate their permeability and barrier function, among other actions.
The expression of tissue factor (TF) is limited in normal tissues to the perivascular compartment where it acts as the receptor for the serin protease factor VIIa. This signaling axis triggers the initiation of extrinsic coagulation protease cascade.
Cadherin 17 (CDH17) is a membrane-bound cell adhesion molecule involved in tumor cell proliferation and is selectively overexpressed in several gastrointestinal malignancies, including colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Formosa Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Almac Discovery Ltd. have announced a global licensing agreement for development and commercialization of ALM-401, a first-in-class engineered bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of solid tumors characterized by the dual expression of EGFR and ROR1.
