Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals by Araris Biotech
Under the collaboration, Araris will use its proprietary linker-conjugation platform to generate next-generation novel ADCs against undisclosed targets provided by Taiho.
Araris’ awarded grant will be used to support further development and advancement of Araris’ antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidates. Araris’ ADC linker technology enables payload attachment to off the shelf antibodies without needing to re-engineer or reduce antibodies.
Araris intends to use the antibody in the development of a differentiated Nectin-4 ADC using its proprietary linker technology to broaden its Antibody-drug Conjugate pipeline.
The net proceeds will be used to support further development and advancement of Araris’ antibody-drug conjugate candidates using company's proprietary antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)-linker technology.
ARC-02 demonstrated potent cytotoxicity in three different non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) cell lines, with similar potency to Polivy® despite ARC-02’s having a lower drug load.
Proceeds from the financing will be used to support the further development and advancement of Araris’ antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidates, created using the Company’s proprietary linker technology, as Araris moves closer towards clinical development.
The resulting ADC-based Therapeutic have shown very high activity at low doses and an improved therapeutic index compared to multiple FDA-approved ADCs.
The poster presentation highlights the company’s anti-CD79b antibody-drug conjugate contains polatuzumab (non-engineered) as targeting antibody and monomethyl
auristatin E as payload highlight late-breaking data on a Nectin-4 ADC.
Lead Product(s):
Polatuzumab-monomethyl auristatin E
The poster will highlight preclinical data from Araris’ anti-CD79b antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) program, and the company will also present data on a Nectin-4 ADC. The company’s ADCs were built using Araris’ proprietary peptide linker technology.
ARC-01 showed superior anti-tumor efficacy in a head-to-head study compared to the FDA-approved polatuzumab vedotin (PV) using the identical antibody sequence and payload.
