Tumors in the stomach and pancreas are known to express claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) and the absence of expression in normal tissues makes it an attractive therapeutic target.
Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is highly expressed in several cancer types, including ovarian and endometrial cancers, while very low or no expression is found in normal tissues.
The U.S. FDA has accepted for review Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd.’s and Astrazeneca plc’s BLA for datopotamab deruxtecan (dato-dxd) to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer who have received prior systemic therapy.
Lantern Pharma Inc. has generated a new class of highly specific and highly potent antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with a cryptophycin drug-payload, in collaboration with Bielefeld University.
Raising $94 million in a series A round, South San Francisco-based Firefly Bio Inc. has emerged from stealth to advance its Firelink linker platform technology to develop degrader-antibody conjugates (DACs) to treat cancer. A combination of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and targeted protein degradation therapies, DACs are a new class of medicines that have recently gained attention for their ability to replace toxic ADC payloads and to eliminate cancer-driven proteins.
Sutro Biopharma Inc. has described antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising a cytotoxic drug linked to an antibody or polypeptide residue through a linker reported to be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Trioar Inc. has synthesized antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies targeting HER2 (Neu, erbB2) covalently linked to cytotoxic drugs (particularly, MMAE and MMAF) through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
