Y-mAbs Therapeutics (Nasdaq: YMAB) announced the presentation of preclinical data on naxitamab at the AACR Annual Meeting 2023 in Orlando, Florida. The poster, titled "Investigational novel humanized anti-GD2 antibody inhibits GD2-mediated immunosuppression by targeting GD2+ breast cancer stem-like cells," will be showcased on April 18, 2023, highlighting the potential of naxitamab to target GD2+ breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) which are linked to triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). With high GD2 expression noted in TNBC, naxitamab may enhance immune responses and inhibit BCSC growth. This work is part of Y-mAbs' strategy to support investigator-sponsored studies (ISS), particularly with preclinical data from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Y-mAbs Therapeutics has initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial for its SADA technology platform, dosing the first patient in a study targeting GD2-positive tumors, including small cell lung cancer, sarcoma, and malignant melanoma.

The multi-center trial aims to enroll approximately 60 patients across various U.S. sites.
