FDA clears INDs for CX-2051, a Probody® Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) Targeting EpCAM and CX-801, a Conditionally Activated Interferon Alpha-2b
“CX-2051 and CX-801 have the potential to address major unmet needs in oncology and we are excited to advance these programs into Phase 1 clinical studies. CX-2051 is an ADC conjugated to a next-generation topoisomerase-1 inhibitor payload that we believe is tailored to certain EpCAM-expressing tumors, including colorectal cancer,” said Wayne Chu, M.D., chief medical officer of CytomX Therapeutics. “CX-801 is designed to overcome previous limitations of interferon-directed therapies due to systemic toxicity and establish CX-801 as a cornerstone of combination regimens, including with checkpoint inhibitors, across a wide range of tumor types,” continued Dr. Chu.
