Abstract Activating interferon responses with STING agonists (STINGa) is a current cancer immunotherapy strategy, and therapeutic modalities that enable tumor-targeted delivery via systemic administration could be beneficial. Here we demonstrate tumor cell-directed agonist antibody-drug-conjugates (STINGa ADCs) activate in cells myeloid induce anti-tumor innate immune vitro, vivo (in female mice), ex models. We show the STINGa ADCs are internalized into by Fcγ-receptor-I antigen-dependent...
While STING agonists have proven to be effective preclinically as anti-tumor agents, these promising results yet translated in the clinic. A agonist antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) could overcome current limitations by improving tumor accessibility, allowing for systemic administration well tumor-localized activation of greater activity and better tolerability. In line with this effort, a ADC platform was identified through systematic optimization payload, linker, scaffold based on multiple...
Abstract Purpose: Targeted tumor delivery may be required to potentiate the clinical benefit of innate immune modulators. The objective study was apply an antibody-drug conjugate approach STING agonism and develop a candidate. Methods: XMT-2056, HER2-directed STING-agonist (ADC), designed, built, tested in pharmacology toxicology studies. ADC compared benchmark intravenously administered agonist. Results: XMT-2056 achieved tumor-targeted agonist upon systemic administration mice induced...
Abstract We present here a novel therapeutic agent, XMT-2056, that results in robust anti-tumor activity mediated by an immune response through targeted delivery of STING agonist to the tumor microenvironment. By leveraging antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) strategy, systemic administration with tumor-targeted can be achieved, potentially overcoming limitations either intratumoral or intravenous administrations unconjugated, small molecule agonists. XMT-2056 was generated conjugation...

Abstract Key defining attributes of an antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) include the choice targeting antibody, linker, payload, and drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR). Historically, most ADC platforms have used same DAR for all targets, regardless target characteristics. However, recent studies modeling suggest that optimal can depend on expression level intratumoral heterogeneity, internalization trafficking, characteristics linker payload. An platform enables optimization could improve success rate...
