TG Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Preclinical Data Presentation on the Company's Anti-PD-L1 Monoclonal Antibody at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting
Apr 04, 2017
The following poster was presented today,
Preclinical Characterization of a Novel Fully Human lgG1 Anti-PD-L1 mAb CK-301
Based on the various assays performed, the poster concluded:
- CK-301 is a high affinity PD-L1 specific fully humanized lgG1 antibody which blocks binding of PD-L1 to PD-1.
- Activity of CK-301 in all assays tested was similar to anti-PD-L1's used as active controls (surrogates of avelumab, atezolizumab, or durvalumab).
- Similar to the approved anti-PD-L1, avelumab, CK-301 has the potential to induce ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity).
A first-in-human Phase 1 study of CK-301 is planned to commence this year.
