Ipsen and Sutro Biopharma formed an exclusive global licensing agreement for STRO-003, an antibody-drug conjugate in the final stages of preclinical development which targets the ROR1 tumor antigen which is known to be overexpressed in many different cancer types including solid tumors and hematological malignancies.
One-third of HER2-positive tumors express the P95HER2 protein, which associates with an aggressive form of breast cancer with a poorer prognosis. Investigators of the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology’s Growth Factors Group, in collaboration with researchers of the Cancer Research Program of Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Barcelona, have developed novel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy that can produce a potent antitumor response against p95HER2-expressing cells.
