Developing Next Generation ADCs Targeting Hard to Treat Cancers with Heidelberg Pharma

Tuesday, October 29, 2024

In this webinar, seasoned ADC experts together with multiple myeloma clinical investigator Shambavi Richard will discuss how the Heidelberg’s innovative ADCs pipeline has the potential to transform the lives of patients with hard to treat cancers. With its track record of ADC development and innovation, Heidelberg Pharma is developing multiple candidates with distinct modes of action (MOA) targeting malignant hematologic and solid tumors:

  • +90% of cancer deaths are attributed to drug resistance, one of the biggest challenges in oncology - Heidelberg Pharma’s unique payload, Amanitin offers the potential to transform drug resistance
  • Derived from the Amanita phalloides mushroom, Amanitin offers a novel MOA which is cell-cycle independent, effectively targeting both dividing and dormant tumor cells, debulking the tumor and killing cancer stem cells, that are known to be key drivers of tumor relapse and metastasis
  • Its lead clinical candidate - HDP-101, an Anti-BCMA antibody Amanitin drug conjugate, is demonstrating efficacy data from its Phase I/IIa clinical trials targeting relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
  • Heidelberg Pharma is also leveraging its technology across of a variety of malignant hematologic and solid tumors, and expanding its pipeline to include as payload exatecan, a TOPO1 inhibitorJoin us to learn more about the latest preclinical and clinical data on these next generation ADCs.

Heidelberg Pharma is pioneering a new treatment approach based on its ADC technologies for the targeted and highly effective treatment of cancer. Its ADC toolbox with – among others, a proprietary Amanitin-based payload addresses multiple types of cancer using various antibody-payload combinations and overcomes tumor resistance by targeting dormant tumor cells.

Heidelberg Pharma is the first company to use the compound Amanitin in cancer therapy. The biological mechanism of action of the toxin from the Amanita Phalloides mushroom represents a new therapeutic modality. The Amanitin-based ADC development candidates are called ATACs. Its lead clinical candidate, HDP-101, is a BCMA-ATAC, for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma and is advancing in a Phase I/IIa clinical study.

The first candidate that Heidelberg Pharma is developing with a toxin other than Amanitin is HDP-201, an exatecan-based ADC
