The U.S. FDA granted Abbvie Inc. accelerated approval for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Teliso-V (telisotuzumab vedotin), newly branded Emrelis, making it the first treatment for previously treated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with high c-Met protein overexpression.
Minghui Pharmaceutical Ltd. is out-licensing its antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) MHB-088C to Qilu Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. for China rights for up to ¥1.345 billion (US$186.44 million). Under terms of the deal, Qilu gains rights to develop and manufacture the ADC in greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
China’s National Medical Products Administration has approved Remegen Co. Ltd.’s antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), disitamab vedotin (RC-48), for treatment of HER2-positive advanced breast cancer in patients with liver metastasis.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), when overactive or overexpressed, may lead to tumor growth and spread, and is thus a robust target for therapy.

Folate receptor α (FOLR1) is highly expressed in the surface of tumoral cells in several cancer types, while it shows limited expression in normal tissues. CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has developed a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting FOLR1 – SYS-6041 – for the treatment of mid-to-low FOLR1-expressing tumors.
Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a protein found in the tight junctions of epithelial cells to modulate their permeability and barrier function, among other actions.
The expression of tissue factor (TF) is limited in normal tissues to the perivascular compartment where it acts as the receptor for the serin protease factor VIIa. This signaling axis triggers the initiation of extrinsic coagulation protease cascade.
Cadherin 17 (CDH17) is a membrane-bound cell adhesion molecule involved in tumor cell proliferation and is selectively overexpressed in several gastrointestinal malignancies, including colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Formosa Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Almac Discovery Ltd. have announced a global licensing agreement for development and commercialization of ALM-401, a first-in-class engineered bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of solid tumors characterized by the dual expression of EGFR and ROR1.
