FDA Clears IND for ZW191, a Novel FR-⍺ Targeted Topoisomerase I Inhibitor ADC

“ZW191 is a differentiated product candidate in our pipeline that reflects the strength of our approach in developing best-in-class antibody-drug conjugates,” said Paul Moore, Chief Scientific Officer of Zymeworks. “Developed to target FR⍺, which is expressed in several types of difficult-to-treat cancers, ZW191 incorporates a novel antibody and drug-linker that provide a unique combination of antibody-linker stability and payload potency, together with strong bystander activity, which could result in improved efficacy and enable targeting lower levels of FR⍺ compared to previously developed drug candidates. We are pleased to reach this R&D milestone following on the heels of our recent FDA clearance for ZW171 in June and look forward to initiating clinical development of both ZW191 and ZW171 during 2024.”
