  • DLL3 is found in over 70% of small cell lung cancers (SCLC), which are aggressive and have few treatment options, leading to poor patient outcomes.
  • HPN328 is a new trispecific T cell-activating therapy that targets DLL3, enhances T-cell activation, and prolongs its presence in the body, showing strong tumor-killing abilities in lab and animal studies.
  • Initial tests indicate HPN328 is effective and safe, with plans for a clinical trial to further evaluate its effectiveness in patients with DLL3-expressing cancers.*
