Despite major treatment advances in recent years, patients with multiple myeloma inevitably relapse. The RNA polymerase II complex has been identified as a promising therapeutic target both proliferating and dormant cancer cells. Alpha-amanitin, toxin so far without clinical application due to high liver toxicity, specifically inhibits this complex. Here, we describe the development of HDP-101, an anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) antibody conjugated amanitin derivative. HDP-101...

Abstract Cancer cells commonly develop resistance to immunotherapy by loss of antigen expression. Combinatorial treatments that increase levels the target on surface cancer have potential restore efficacy immunotherapy. Here, we use our CRISPR interference– and activation–based functional genomics platform systematically identify pathways controlling cell expression multiple myeloma B-cell maturation (BCMA). We discovered pharmacologic inhibition HDAC7 Sec61 complex increased BCMA, including...

<p><i>In </i><i>vivo</i> antitumor efficacy of individual animals treated with Trodelvy compared to hRS7 ATAC 1 in TNBC xenograft mouse model. Female NMRI nude mice bearing HCC70 subcutaneous tumors were either PBS or the indicated doses (cleavable linker) Trodelvy. Efficacy was monitored for 76 days and evaluated by average tumor volume ±SEM, n = 10.</p>

<p>Western blotting of TROP2 expression on PANC-1, BxPC-3, Capan-1 and Capan-2 cells. hRS7-LALA-DC was used as primary antibody rabbit anti-human-IgG-HRP (Abcam) secondary antibody. Chemiluminescence signal detected by WB imager (Azure C400 imaging). The different apparent size TROP-2 in BxPC3 Capan 2 cells is most likely due to differential glycosylation [44] and/or from proteolytic cleavage [45]. In not detected, proteolytical resulting an isoform that cannot be the hRS7 [45], [46].</p>

<p>MTD of hRS7 ATAC 1 and 2. The tolerability was assessed in 7-week-old tumor free female NMRI nude mice by single dose intravenous administration ATACs. At a 10 mg/kg 1, one three animals found dead within 48 h after treatment thus 8 considered to be MTD. ATAC2 tested up maximum 80 – no higher doses were tested. Therefore, the MTD ≥ mg/kg.</p>

<div>Abstract<p>Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) exhibits aberrant expression in pancreatic cancer, correlating with metastasis, advanced tumor stage, and poor prognosis patients ductal adenocarcinoma. TROP2 has been recognized as a promising therapeutic target for antibody–drug conjugates (ADC), evidenced by the approval of anti-TROP2 ADC Trodelvy treatment triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In this study, we report generation novel second-generation amanitin-based...
