Preliminary Phase I/II data demonstrated that Merck and Kelun-Biotech’s TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate SKB264 can elicit promising disease control and even potentially extend survival among heavily pretreated patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer, according to an abstract presentation Tuesday at the 2024 American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting.

The American Association for Cancer Research’s annual conference kicks off Friday as more than 20,000 attendees descend on San Diego. Analysts and researchers who spoke with BioSpace said they’re looking forward to early scientific data, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) will be a key focus.

The licensing and collaboration agreement with Chinese company Kelun-Biotech involves the development of seven antibody-drug conjugates candidates against oncology targets.
