Zai Lab (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) announced that data from a Phase 1 study of ZL-1310, its investigational antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), will be presented at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium (ENA) 2024 in Barcelona. The presentation will focus on ZL-1310's potential as a novel treatment for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). ZL-1310 targets Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3), which is overexpressed in many neuroendocrine tumors and associated with poor clinical outcomes.
The compound features a novel linker-payload platform called TMALIN®, designed to overcome challenges of first-generation ADC therapies. Dr. Rafael G. Amado, President and Head of Global R&D at Zai Lab, emphasized the need for new therapies with reduced off-target toxicity and increased anti-tumor effectiveness for SCLC and other neuroendocrine tumors. The presentation, titled 'Preliminary Results from a Phase 1a/1b, Open-Label, Multicenter Study of ZL-1310,' will be given by Dr. Alex Spira on October 24, 2024.
Zai Lab (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) will present preclinical data on ZL-1503, an IL-13/IL-31 bispecific antibody for treating atopic dermatitis, at the EADV Congress 2024. This internally developed drug targets both inflammatory and pruritogenic pathways, potentially offering improved treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and related conditions. Current IL-4/IL-13 inhibitors have limitations in addressing IL-31-mediated symptoms, resulting in slow and modest clinical responses. ZL-1503 aims to inhibit both IL-13 and IL-31 signaling pathways, potentially expanding treatment options. The late-breaking oral presentation, scheduled for September 25, 2024, will discuss ZL-1503's potential as a novel treatment for atopic dermatitis and other IL-13/IL-31 related diseases.
Zai Lab (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) will present preliminary data from a Phase 1 trial of ZL-1218, an investigational anti-CCR8 antibody for advanced solid tumors, at the ESMO Congress 2024. The study (NCT05859464) aims to demonstrate ZL-1218's potential to reduce regulatory T cells and modulate T-cell function in the tumor microenvironment. ZL-1218 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CCR8, a receptor on tumor-associated regulatory T cells, potentially enhancing antitumor immune response.
The ongoing global Phase 1 study evaluates ZL-1218 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. Dr. Rafael G. Amado, President and Head of Global R&D at Zai Lab, highlighted the importance of overcoming tumor microenvironment complexities in cancer immunotherapy. The poster presentation at ESMO 2024 will focus on preliminary clinical PK and PD analysis of ZL-1218 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
