In vitro studies demonstrated targeted cytotoxicity of IMGC936 across a panel of ADAM9-positve tumor cell lines with activity at least 2 logs greater than a non-targeting conjugate. Consistent with the in vitroactivity, an anti-ADAM9-DM21 conjugate displayed compelling anti-tumor activity in multiple xenograft models representing non-small cell lung, gastric and colorectal cancers....Based on the totality of the preclinical data, IMGC936 represents a promising therapeutic candidate to target a wide range of ADAM9-expressing tumors.
