BioNTech's oncology pipeline shows promising early results, particularly for BNT327 bispecific antibody and novel combinations with ADCs.
BioNTech's oncology pipeline continues to advance with a strategic focus on two priority pan-tumor programs. Their lead candidate, BNT327, represents a sophisticated dual-targeting approach as a bispecific antibody targeting both PD-L1 and VEGF-A. This mechanism combines two well-established cancer treatment strategies: immune checkpoint inhibition (PD-L1) and anti-angiogenesis (VEGF-A).
The preliminary Phase 2 data in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) demonstrate the potential of this approach. In first-line extensive-stage SCLC, BNT327 combined with chemotherapy showed anti-tumor activity with an acceptable safety profile. These results support their ongoing global Phase 3 ROSETTA Lung-01 trial. Similarly, in second-line SCLC, BNT327 plus chemotherapy demonstrated anti-tumor activity regardless of prior immunotherapy exposure.
Perhaps most noteworthy is BioNTech's novel combination strategy of BNT327 with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Early data from combining BNT327 with the TROP2-targeting ADC BNT325/DB-1305 showed a manageable safety profile and encouraging preliminary efficacy in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC), with 7 of 13 evaluable patients achieving partial response and 3 with stable disease. Responses were also observed in NSCLC and triple-negative breast cancer patients.
The company's mRNA cancer vaccine BNT116, based on their FixVac platform, also showed preliminary anti-tumor activity and immune response induction in frail NSCLC patients ineligible for chemotherapy as first-line treatment.
The ADC portfolio continues to progress, with BNT324/DB-1311 (B7H3-targeted) receiving FDA Fast Track designation for castration-resistant prostate cancer and Orphan Drug designation for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Meanwhile, BNT325/DB-1305 (TROP2-targeted) received Fast Track designation for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
The upcoming presentations at ASCO will provide additional insights into BNT327's efficacy in mesothelioma and further details on their Phase 3 programs, representing important catalysts for clinical validation.
- Continued oncology pipeline advancement with a strategic focus on two priority pan-tumor programs: next-generation immunomodulator BNT327, a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF-A1, and mRNA cancer immunotherapies
- Presented multiple clinical updates across oncology pipeline underlining BioNTech’s combination strategy in oncology with first data presented for the novel combination of BNT327 plus antibody-drug conjugates (“ADCs”)
- Development and commercial preparation for a 2025/2026 season variant-adapted COVID-19 vaccine
- First quarter 2025 revenues of
