In the last three years alone, there have been over 633,000 patents filed and granted in the pharmaceutical industry, according to GlobalData’s report on Immuno-oncology in Pharmaceuticals: Tumour antibody serum compositions. The production of antibodies in response to proteins expressed during cancer development serves as a biomarker.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as one of the most promising advancements in precision oncology, combining targeted delivery with the potency of traditional chemotherapies. Over the last decade, ADCs have gained significant traction, with more therapies being approved and a rapidly expanding development pipeline.
pharmaphorum sat down with Sunil Verma, global head of oncology, medical, at AstraZeneca, to discuss three studies that were presented at the show, which demonstrate a few of the ways oncology is advancing through precision medicine and targeted therapies. That antibody-drug conjugate then docks on the cancer cell receptor.
The China National Medical Products Administration’s (NMPA) Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) has granted clearance for Transcenta’s investigational new drug (IND) application for its TST003 to treat solid tumours. TST003 is a first-in-class Gremlin1 targeting humanised monoclonal antibody.
It explores the monoclonal antibody detection that may work against procathepsin-L (pCTS-L), a pro-inflammatory protein mediator, as the potential remedy. These anti-pCTS-L monoclonal antibodies may help in providing effective treatments for human sepsis as well as other infectious diseases, such as Covid-19.
Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals and ADC Therapeutics have signed an assessment and option agreement for evaluating antibodies against three tumour targets. Under the deal, ADC Therapeutics will receive a licence from Biocytogen to evaluate the latter’s antibodies against the targets.
