Scientists and doctors are getting much better at developing treatments for cancer. More than 18 million people with a history of cancer were alive in the U.S. at the beginning of 2022, up from just 3 million in 1971, according to the 14th edition of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Cancer Progress Report. And that number is expected to rise to 26 million by 2040.
Innovent Biologics Inc. unveiled for the first time safety and efficacy data of IBI-354, an HER2 monoclonal antibody-camptothecin derivative conjugate that shows promising efficacy signals across a range of advanced solid tumors, during the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2024 Congress. An HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate developed using Innovent's topoisomerase inhibitor NT3 platform, IBI-354 combines a hydrophilic linker design with a hydrophobic payload to enhance the bystander effect, targeting adjacent antigen-low or negative tumor cells.
OS Therapies Inc. has announced the development and in vitro concept data for two novel tunable antibody-drug conjugate (tADC) therapeutic candidates leveraging the company’s proprietary Silinker technology.
OS Therapies Inc. has announced promising data in animal models of ovarian cancer for its first therapeutic candidate developed based upon its proprietary tunable antibody-drug conjugate (tADC) platform.
