Myris Therapeutics Developing Ultra-High DAR ADCs to Enable Novel Precision Medicine Treatments for Cancer

Myris Therapeutics has a novel pipeline of ultra-high DAR ADC oncology medicines, developed using the company’s deep expertise in polymer chemistry and cancer biologics. Myris’ technology enables the development of ADCs with DAR50-300, meaning Myris can put 50-300 copies of the drug payload per antibody which is 10-100x higher than current standards. “This dramatically expands the range of possible payloads and precision therapy opportunities. Moreover, there are many clinically-validated small molecules that have previously not been amenable to use in ADCs because of their pharmacology or therapeutic index,” said Laura Benjamin, PhD, CEO of Myris Therapeutics. “We are advancing promising clinical candidates by utilizing innovative, yet proven, antibodies and payloads. Our emerging preclinical data suggest that we will see the expected improvement in efficacy and tolerability that the field so desperately needs.”
