FDA clears IND application for ZW251 for the treatment of HCC
“This advancement marks the second ADC from our wholly-owned pipeline, utilizing our proprietary TOPO1i payload, to progress into clinical development, reinforcing confidence in our approach,” said Paul Moore, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Zymeworks. “Like ZW191, which is currently in clinical trials, ZW251 utilizes the same payload paired with an optimized antibody. Our observations with ZW191 in the clinic to date provide a strong foundation as we initiate clinical development of this second ADC. With its novel design, unique mechanism of action, and promising preclinical activity, ZW251 offers the potential to meaningfully improve upon the current standard of care for HCC either as a monotherapy or in combination.”
