About IPH4502
IPH4502 is Innate Pharma's proprietary Nectin-4 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), built on three differentiated components. The payload is exatecan, a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, with the potential to overcome key limitations associated with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE)-based ADCs, including multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1)-mediated resistance, and without the need for CYP2D6 genotyping. IPH4502 incorporates a proprietary stable linker designed to slow the release of free exatecan into the circulation. The binder is a proprietary humanized anti-Nectin-4 antibody with high affinity and a distinct, non-overlapping epitope compared with enfortumab vedotin (EV). In preclinical studies, IPH4502 demonstrated anti-
tumor activity in EV-resistant tumor models and in tumors with low and heterogeneous Nectin-4 expression, supporting its potential applicability across solid tumor types beyond urothelial carcinoma (UC). IPH4502 is currently being evaluated in the Phase 1 IPH4502-101 study (NCT06781983) in patients with advanced solid tumors known to express Nectin-4.
IPH4502 is currently under clinical development and has not received marketing authorization in the European Union or approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Its safety and efficacy have not been established for any commercial use. The product is not available for commercial distribution.
