BCA101 Is a Tumor-Targeted Bifunctional Fusion Antibody That Simultaneously Inhibits EGFR and TGFβ Signaling to Durably Suppress Tumor Growth.

Unlabelled: The EGFR and TGFβ signaling pathways are important mediators of tumorigenesis, and cross-talk between them contributes to cancer progression and drug resistance. Therapies capable of simultaneously targeting EGFR and TGFβ could help improve patient outcomes across various cancer types. Here, we developed BCA101, an anti-EGFR IgG1 mAb linked to an extracellular domain of human TGFβRII.

Physicochemical and functional characterization of trastuzumab-dkst, a trastuzumab biosimilar.

Preclinical comparative similarity studies of trastuzumab-dkst, a Herceptin biosimilar, are reported. Primary sequence and higher order structure and pharmacological mechanisms of action were compared using multiple techniques. Pharmacokinetics and repeat-dose toxicity were assessed in cynomolgus monkeys.

Physicochemical and functional characterization of MYL-1501D, a proposed biosimilar to insulin glargine.

Insulin glargine is a long-acting analogue of human insulin that has been used to manage hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) for nearly 20 years. Insulin glargine has a relatively constant concentration-time profile that mimics basal levels of insulin and allows for once-daily administration. MYL-1501D is a biosimilar insulin glargine designed to offer greater access of insulin glargine to patients, with comparable efficacy and safety to the marketed reference product.
