I-Mab and ABL Bio to Present Preclinical Data for Joint Bispecific Antibody Program at the 2020 American Association for Cancer Research Virtual Meeting II
SHANGHAI and GAITHERSBURG,Md.,June 12,2020 --I-Mab (the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMAB),a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery,development and commercialization of novel biologics,will be presenting preclinical data on a newly developed,novel asset TJ-CD4B,at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Virtual Annual Meeting IIon June 22-24,2020.
TJ-CD4B,also known as ABL111,is a Claudin 18.2 and 4-1BB bispecific antibody jointly developed with South Korea-based ABL Bio,Inc. (Kosdaq: 298380,hereafter "ABL"). TJ-CD4B is from I-Mab's emerging bispecific antibody portfolio designed to create novel drug molecules that synergize two pathways for better clinical efficacy. By linking with an antibody against Claudin 18.2,a gastric- and pancreatic-specific cancer antigen,TJ-CD4B/ABL111 is uniquely structured to supercharge T cells in a Claudin 18.2-dependent manner,enhancing anti-tumor immunity while potentially minimizing toxicity.
The pre-clinical validation of TJ-CD4B/ABL111 to be presented at AACR signifies the overall progress of I-Mab's bispecific antibody portfolio,reflecting Company's discovery and CMC capabilities to engineer novel molecules with combined target specificities. I-Mab plans to advance more novel bispecific antibodies towards clinical development stage,following the lead of TJ-CD4B/ABL111.
The poster presentation (Abstract #5644) is available for on-demand viewing starting 9:00 am EDT,22 June,and will remain for viewing by registered attendees for at least three months after the virtual meeting.
