China’s Medilink Therapeutics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. and Germany’s Biontech SE signed another potential $1 billion-plus deal for novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targets, building off the first ADC-based licensing deal from last year.
A group of scientists from Basel University Hospital have designed an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that eliminated blood cancer cells without attacking healthy hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which they modified by base editing and transplanted to renew an altered blood system. They achieved this by focusing on the panhematopoietic marker CD45.
Cambridge, U.K.-based Astrazeneca plc is looking to Asia, specifically China and Singapore, to build an innovative cancer-focused pipeline filled with antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and cell therapies.

Pheon Therapeutics Ltd. is poised to start the first of three clinical trials of its lead antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), after closing a $120 million series B. The company is taking a “three-pronged approach” in order to stake out as much of the ground as it can for its next-generation ADC, which delivers an in-house-designed topoisomerase inhibitor to a novel undisclosed transmembrane protein target.
Pheon Therapeutics Ltd. has completed a $120 million series B financing to fund the development of its pipeline of differentiated antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for cancer through clinical proof of concept.
Even though HER3 is validated as a promising therapeutic target for cancer therapy, no HER3-targeting antibodies or antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been approved for clinical use. Investigators at Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. have developed DB-1310, a new HER3-targeting ADC being studied for the treatment of solid tumors, and published findings from preclinical characterization.
Macrogenics Inc. CEO Scott Koenig said his firm is “on the right pathway” with vobramitamab duocarmazine (vobra duo), previously known as MGC-018, in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Wall Street proved less than thrilled, and shares of the Rockville, Md.-based firm (NASDAQ:MGNX) closed May 10 at $3.31, down $11.36, or 77%, after Macrogenics disclosed phase II results from the Tamarack study with vobra duo.
Researchers from Sichuan Baili Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Systimmune Inc. presented preclinical data for the novel CD33-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being evaluated for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
Bioatla Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for BA-3361, a conditionally active biologic (CAB)-Nectin-4 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of multiple tumor types.
