10 Oct 2024: AstraZeneca’s dual-antibody ADC approved for two clinical trials in China
AstraZeneca’s innovative drug AZD9592 has received implicit licensing for two clinical trials in China, targeting advanced solid tumors in combination with osimertinib and with 5-Fluorouracil, leucovorin, and bevacizumab
AZD9592 is a bispecific ADC targeting both EGFR and c-MET, developed to deliver cytotoxic drugs directly to cancer cells
Preclinical data indicates that AZD9592 has a promising efficacy and safety profile for tumors expressing EGFR and c-MET, particularly in adenocarcinoma, squamous non-small cell lung cancer, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
A Phase 1 trial is underway to assess AZD9592 as a monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer agents for advanced solid tumors
