PolyTherics Announces a Research Collaboration with Spirogen to Develop Novel Antibody-Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Cancer
Under the collaboration, the two companies will produce the ADCs using PolyTherics’ proprietary TheraPEG™ linker technology to site-specifically conjugate Spirogen’s potent pyrrolobenzodiazepines (“PBDs”) cytotoxic agents – known as warheads - to antibodies and antibody fragments. The companies will then test the potency of the resulting ADCs in preclinical models of cancer. PolyTherics and Spirogen will jointly seek partners to develop the most promising ADC candidates that arise from the collaboration.
