Date: 2016-10-10

Type of information: Presentation of results at a congress

phase: 1

Announcement: presentation of results at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2016 Congress

Company: Endocyte (USA - IN)

Product: EC1169

Action mechanism:

  • EC1169 is an investigational therapeutic small molecule drug conjugate (SMDC) constructed of a high affinity Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)-targeting ligand conjugated through a releasable linker system to a potent cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor, tubulysin B hydrazide (TubBH).  The high affinity of EC1169 for PSMA allows for the active and specific delivery of TubBH to PSMA-expressing cancer cells, while minimizing exposure to normal cells.  PSMA is known to be highly expressed on the majority of prostate cancers with limited expression on normal tissues.
  • The PSMA-targeted companion imaging agent EC0652 is being co-developed to characterize whole body PSMA expression in real time, to identify patients most likely to benefit from EC1169 therapy.
