Positive early data announced for ubamatamab (REGN4018; MUC16xCD3) in recurrent ovarian cancer and REGN5093 (METxMET) in MET-altered advanced NSCLC
“Bispecific antibodies are an important component of our oncology pipeline because of their flexibility to potentially address a variety of cancers,” said Israel Lowy, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Translational and Clinical Sciences, Oncology at Regeneron. “At ESMO, we’re showcasing this flexibility with ubamatamab and REGN5093, two novel bispecific antibodies that are initially being investigated as monotherapies for recurrent ovarian cancer and MET-altered advanced lung cancer, respectively. They were among the first in our pipeline to progress into clinical trials for solid tumors, and we’re encouraged to see both showing anti-tumor activity in dose escalation. These first-in-class results give us confidence in our VelociBi® bispecific development platform, and we look forward to investigating ubamatamab and REGN5093 further.”
