Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has entered into a drug discovery collaboration agreement with Adimab LLC to discover and develop innovative antibody drugs in the oncology field.
Novarock Biotherapeutics Ltd., a subsidiary of CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd., has received FDA approval of its IND application for NBL-028, a CLDN6-CD137 bispecific antibody.
Ibio Inc. has announced promising in vivo data for three immuno-oncology candidates, anti-EGFRvIII, CCR8 and a bispecific TROP-2 x CD3, advancing these programs to clinical candidate selection stage.
Biocity Biopharma announced that the U.S. FDA has accepted its investigational new drug (IND) application for BC-3448, a bispecific antibody that targets the T cell marker CD3 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), bringing antitumor T cells in proximity to EGFR-expressing cells. To reduce the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a known risk of CD3-targeting antibodies, the bispecific has a higher affinity for EGFR than CD3.
Hillstream Biopharma Inc. reported a strategic reprioritization of its pipeline to focus on advancing novel oncology assets with the greatest potential and strong competitive profiles for solid tumors.
Hillstream Biopharma Inc. has signed an exclusive agreement with Applied Biomedical Science Institute (ABSI) to license technology for human antibodies targeting novel HER2 and HER3 conformational epitopes. The goal is to develop proprietary multiformat biologics, including bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
TG Immunopharma Co. Ltd. has announced clearance by the FDA for a clinical trial of TGI-6, a bispecific antibody targeting unique tumor-associated antigens (TAA) and CD3 molecules simultaneously, for solid tumors.
Although advances in chemotherapy have dramatically improved outcomes for children with leukemia, patients with high-risk and aggressive cancers require intense drug regimens that push safety limits. Researchers have formulated an antibody guidance system in mice that could empower chemotherapy against childhood leukemias while minimizing drug toxicity.
Bioatla Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application to evaluate BA-3182, a conditionally active biologic (CAB) EpCAM/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager antibody, for the treatment of advanced adenocarcinoma. The company plans to initiate a phase I study this year.
