Type of information: Presentation of results at a congress
phase: preclinical
Announcement: presentation of results at the PEGS Third Annual Agonist Immunotherapy Targets conference in Boston
Company: Alligator Bioscience (Sweden)
Product: ADC-1013/JNJ-64457107
Action mechanism: monoclonal antibody. ADC-1013 is an agonistic fully human monoclonal antibody targeting CD40, an immunostimulatory receptor found on antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells. ADC-1013 has been developed in close collaboration with Professor Thomas Tötterman, Uppsala University, Sweden. Professor Tötterman is a pioneer in directed immunotherapy of cancer, a concept where the immune system is selectively activated locally in the tumor microenvironment in order to reduce systemic side effects while optimizing systemic anti-tumor effects. Professor Tötterman´s group has performed a number of successful in-vivo experiments demonstrating the powerful immune mediated anti-tumor effects of ADC-1013. The pre-clinical assessment of ADC-1013 indicates a favorable tolerability profile, which is likely to be further improved by the intratumoral route of administration in the first clinical trial. Manufacturing of ADC-1013 was performed by Cobra Biologics, using the maxXpress platform and the Ubiquitous Chromatin Opening Element (UCOE) technology, and by BioInvent International, who performed process development and manufacturing of the non-GMP and GMP batches.
