  • Alphamab Oncology announced that the IND application for its TROP2/HER3 bispecific antibody–drug conjugate JSKN016SC (subcutaneous formulation) has been officially accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation of China’s NMPA, with review proceeding under the 30-day fast-track channel for innovative therapies
  • JSKN016SC represents a key pipeline asset and is the first subcutaneous formulation of a bispecific ADC targeting TROP2 and HER3, designed to improve treatment convenience by reducing administration time from hours to seconds while potentially enhancing patient compliance and optimizing healthcare resource use
  • The candidate builds on encouraging clinical data from JSKN016, which has demonstrated strong efficacy and a favorable safety profile across multiple solid tumors in early-phase studies, with additional results in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer expected to be presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting
  • The IND supports initiation of the Phase 1b JSKN016SC-102 trial, an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity, while determining the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose
  • With ongoing Phase 3 development of JSKN016 in triple-negative breast cancer and prior validation of subcutaneous ADC delivery approaches, Alphamab is advancing a differentiated strategy aimed at improving both efficacy and patient experience in ADC-based cancer therapy
