Did you know that antibody-drug conjugates combine the targeting capability of antibodies with the cancer-killing power of drugs?

RemeGen Unveils Latest Cancer Research at ASCO 2024

RemeGen Co., Ltd., a prominent biotechnology company, presented groundbreaking research at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting 2024 in Chicago. The company showcased several innovative treatments, particularly focusing on antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), aiming to provide more effective solutions for various types of cancer.

Key Presentations on Antibody Drug Conjugates

RemeGen's presentations included both oral and poster sessions featuring their proprietary drugs, Disitamab Vedotin (RC48) and RC88. These drugs were highlighted in studies involving gastric, bladder, and gynecological tumors. Results from these studies not only exhibited promising efficacy but also demonstrated manageable safety profiles, making significant strides toward better cancer treatments.

Clinical Science Symposium: A Notable Highlight

One of the key highlights at ASCO 2024 was a Clinical Science Symposium where Professor Song Li from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University presented findings from a Phase II trial. This trial investigated the efficacy of Disitamab Vedotin combined with toripalimab and the oral drug S-1 in treating advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, showing positive preliminary results.

Insightful Poster Sessions on Bladder Cancer

Professor Sheng Xinan from Peking University Cancer Hospital presented an impactful poster session on a Phase II study of Disitamab Vedotin and toripalimab as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The interim results indicated that this combination could be a viable treatment option, exhibiting significant anti-tumor activity and acceptable safety levels.

Another poster session discussed the use of Disitamab Vedotin for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and a prospective study on its application for advanced penile cancer, further expanding the potential use of this innovative drug.

Extensive Online Abstracts

RemeGen also had ten online abstracts accepted by ASCO, covering a range of cancers including bladder, breast, and gastrointestinal. These publications underscore the company's commitment to advancing cancer treatment through innovative research and development.
