Voro Therapeutics and Daiichi Sankyo to Advance PrimeBody™ Technology for Next-Gen Tumor-Activated ADCs
“Unlocking the full potential of highly potent payloads requires a new level of control over where and when activation occurs,” said Ugur Eskiocak, PhD, Co-Founder and CEO of Voro Therapeutics. “PrimeBody is designed to potentially provide that level of control through tumor-selective activation and expand the target universe to include antigens historically considered too broadly expressed. We believe this approach has the potential to fundamentally expand the therapeutic index of ADCs. We are excited to collaborate with Daiichi Sankyo, a global leader in ADC innovation with a proven track record of developing transformative medicines for patients.”
