US precision medicine oncology company IDEAYA Biosciences (Nasdaq: IDYA) has entered into an option and license agreement for a potential first-in-class B7H3/PTK7 BsADC program with Chinese biotech Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (HKEX: 02315).
"The potential first-in-class B7H3/PTK7 topo-I-payload BsADC program has the potential to be developed as a monotherapy agent in multiple solid tumor types, and advances IDEAYA's broader corporate strategy to enable wholly-owned first-in-class rational combinations at the intersection of ADCs and small molecule DDR-based therapies to deliver greater benefit for patients," said Yujiro Hata, president and chief executive of IDEAYA Biosciences.
A development candidate nomination for the B7H3/PTK7 topoisomerase-I-inhibitor payload BsADC program is targeted for the second half of 2024.
