Initial Clinical Data from Ph 1 trial of ZW191 Presented
“These first clinical data from our Phase 1 study of ZW191 provide early validation of our innovative approach to designing novel ADCs, through combining a unique antibody design with our proprietary payload, ZD06519,” said Sabeen Mekan, MD, Senior Vice President of Clinical Development of Zymeworks. “We are encouraged by the early signs of anti-tumor activity and favorable safety profile in a heavily pretreated population, which supports best-in-class potential and strengthens our confidence in this approach. With dose optimization planned to begin in the fourth quarter of this year and additional candidates such as ZW251 advancing in development, we remain focused on delivering meaningful new treatment options for patients with challenging cancers.”
