It came true if: Company or investigator discloses at least topline clinical data for tmAbA in both head and neck cancer and ovarian cancer indications
Where: Company press releases, conference presentations (e.g., ASCO/ESMO), or management commentary on quarterly earnings calls
In context
“l immunology assets will also be entering the clinic this year, including an extended half-life anti-IL-23 antibody and an oral peptide IL-23 inhibitor. Moving to oncology, progress continues with our next-generation cMet ADC tmAbA. Strong data have been observed in late-line colorectal cancer, as both a monotherapy and in combination with bevacizumab. Therefore, we will be initiating a phase three study this year in an all-comers population in combination with VEV. Dose optimization continues for tmAbA in non-small cell lung cancer, where both EGFR wild-type and EGFR mutant populations are being evaluated. Data from these studies will be available next year, informing our phase three path. In pancreatic cancer, tmAbA will be studied in combination with different regimens of chemotherapy. Later this year, data is anticipated in head and neck and ovarian cancer. We're making very good progress across several tumor types with tmAbA. We recently announced a deal with Remagen for a PD-1 VEGF antibody. This molecule will be a nice complement to our ADC portfolio and has demonstrated competitive monotherapy efficacy as well as encouraging early data in ADC and chemo combinations. Our strategy is to initially combine this PD-1 VEGF with tmAbA in lung and colorectal, with other tumor types also under consideration. These novel combinations have the potential to drive faster disease control, longer duration, and ultimately longer survival. In small cell lung cancer, a phase two trial for ABBV 706 in combination with atezolizumab recently began in treatment-naive patients. A phase three study in second-line plus patients is also planned to initiate this y”
