    ABN401 in patients with NSCLC with MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping: Result from the pilot expansion study. (ASCO 2023)
    The ABN401 pilot expansion part of phase 1 demonstrated promising anti-tumor effects and safety in NSCLC pts with c-MET dysregulation, providing support for further evaluation of ABN401 in the METex14 skipping cohort (cohort-1) of the global phase 2 study (NCT05541822). Enrollment is currently ongoing. References National Comprehensive Cancer Network: Non-small cell lung cancer (version 2.2021).

    Synergistic anti-tumor effect of ABN401 in combination with KRAS inhibitor in a c-MET-altered KRASG12C non-small cell lung cancer model (AACR 2023)
    We have performed several in vitro and in vivo efficacy studies for the combination of ABN401, c-MET inhibitor, and sotorasib, KRASG12C variant inhibitor, including a PDX model of c-MET-altered KRASG12C NSCLC. Our results suggest that the combination of ABN401 and KRAS inhibitor could be an alternative treatment option for c-MET-altered KRASG12C NSCLC patients.

    The MET inhibitor ABN401 in combination with the third-generation EGFR-TKI is effective MET-amplified and EGFR-mutant NSCLC with acquired resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKI in preclinical models (ESMO 2022)
    Methods The signal transduction inhibition and cytotoxic response of ABN401 in combination with Lazertinib were tested in vitro against Osimertinib-resistance NSCLC cell lines (HCC827-AR) and patient-derived organoid (YUO-010), analyzed by western blot and Cell Titer-Glo assay. Notably, in MET gene amplification (PDX model YHIM-1035, gefitinib/Osimertinib resistant), ABN401 alone showed a potent therapeutic effect. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the clinical application of ABN401 in combination with a third-generation EGFR-TKI to NSCLC patients with MET gene amplification can provide a promising therapeutic strategy for overcoming acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs.

    A phase I-II multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of ABN401 in patients with advanced solid tumors and dose-expansion in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring c-MET dysregulation (ESMO 2022)
    We plan to open several cohorts to treat other types of cancers harboring MET alteration. In addition, combination therapies with different types of drugs are planned.

    Therapeutic Efficacy of ABN401, a Highly Potent and Selective MET Inhibitor, Based on Diagnostic Biomarker Test in MET-Addicted Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
    The results show that the efficacy of ABN401 is associated with MET status and they highlight the importance of determining the cut-off values. The results suggest that clinical trials need to establish the characteristics of each sample and their correlations with the efficacy of MET inhibitors.

    New Preclinical Development of a c-Met Inhibitor and Its Combined Anti-Tumor Effect in c-Met-Amplified NSCLC. (PubMed, Pharmaceutics)
    Unlike other c-Met inhibitors that fail clinically, ABN401 is a newly synthesized c-Met inhibitor that is not potentially degraded by aldehyde oxidase (AO) in human liver cytosol. The bioavailability is approximately 30% in dogs and it is highly efficient in the PDX model, achieving around 90% tumor growth inhibition in combination with erlotinib. These observations indicate that the compound is acceptable for the next phase of trials.
