YH013


YH013 is an EGFR x MET bispecific ADC which is intended for the treatment of solid tumor. The bispecific antibody backbone is produced by RenLite mice of fully human antibodies with a common light chain. It has a monoclonal antibody structure, which makes purification and drug conjugation easy. YH013 is currently at discovery stage.


Preclinical studies have shown the following findings:

1. EGFR x MET bispecific antibody (YH013 unconjugated, YH013 unconj. for short) showed higher binding ability than parental monoclonal and monovalent antibodies that recognize single target EGFR or MET in antigen double-positive NCI-H1975 (EGFR+ MET+) cancer cells.

2. YH013 unconj. has superior endocytosis activity over parental monoclonal and monovalent antibodies in antigen double-positive NCI-H1975 cancer cells.

Targets

EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) is a transmembrane protein with cytoplasmic kinase activity that transduces important growth factor signaling from the extracellular milieu to the cell.

MET (mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor) gene amplification constitutes the most frequent cause of bypass signaling activation as an acquired resistance mechanism to EGFR TKIs.

EGFR and MET co-express on many tumor types. In 2021, Amivantamab (EGFR x MET bispecific antibody) was approved by FDA.
