AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing FRα-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (IMGN853) cannot cover the larger population of FRα-moderate and low-expressing individuals in ovarian cancer treatment, and has safety issues such as poor bystander effect and ocular toxicity. There is a need to develop more effective and safer dual epitope ADC drugs.

Method used

An FRα dual-epitope ADC antibody was designed. It uses an antibody that specifically binds to FRα or its antigen-binding fragment, combined with a topoisomerase I inhibitor with side-killing activity. Through the design of specific heavy and light chain variable region amino acid sequences, an antibody conjugate with strong dual-epitope binding ability is formed.

Benefits of technology

It improved the treatment effect in patients with moderate to low FRα expression, reduced the bystander effect and ocular toxicity, and enhanced the efficacy and safety of ADC drugs.
