Whitehawk Therapeutics Expands ADC Pipeline with New Option Agreement for Use of CPT113 Linker-Payload
“This option agreement reflects our conviction in CPT113 as the core linker-payload foundation of our ADC platform, supported both by increasing external validation and by what we are seeing in our own existing programs. By layering on our proprietary CBCR bioconjugation process, we believe we further enhance ADC stability to deliver potential best-in-class ADCs,” said Dave Lennon, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Whitehawk Therapeutics. “With HWK-007 and HWK-016 enrolling, and an IND for HWK-206 anticipated mid-year, we are building execution momentum across our portfolio. We now have the opportunity to further scale our pipeline and advance novel ADC programs toward the clinic in the next 12-24 months.”
