Iksuda Therapeutics Ltd. and UCL Business Ltd. have prepared new antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies targeting B7 homolog 3 (B7-H3, CD276) covalently linked to cytotoxic drug, designed for potential use in the treatment of cancer.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with a dual payload, which deliver two distinct cytotoxic agents via a single antibody, are emerging therapeutics developed to address the limitations of classic ADCs. Primelink Biotherapeutics (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. recently presented data for their dual-payload ADCs, highlighting PLB-015, which carries a TOP1 inhibitor and an ATR inhibitor with an anti-HER2 antibody and is designed to inhibit the DNA damage response activated by cancer cells when harmed.
A recent Antelope Therapeutics SAS patent describes new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising monoclonal antibodies targeting canAg (CA242) mucin glycoepitope covalently linked to exatecan designed for use in the treatment of cancer.
