A Phase 2 Study of Mecbotamab Vedotin (BA3011), a CAB-AXL-ADC, Alone or in Combination with Nivolumab (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
To enroll, patients must have experienced failure of an approved programmed death1/ligand-1(PD-1/L1) treatment, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor (either monotherapy or in combination with another therapy such as ipilimumab). Treatment failure is defined as disease progression on a PD-1/L1, EGFR, or ALK inhibitor, or discontinuation of a PD-1/L1, EGFR, or ALK inhibitor due to an adverse event. Enrollment completion is anticipated in 2023.

A phase I/II study of mecbotamab vedotin (BA3011), a CAB-AXL-ADC, in patients with advanced sarcoma including undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (Sarcoma-RC 2023)
Trial Design Study BA3011-001 is an ongoing multi-center, open-label phase I/II first-in-human trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, and antitumor activity of BA3011 alone and in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab in adult and adolescent patients 12 years and older with advanced solid tumors. Enrollment in phase II part 2 is expected to commence in January 2023. Legal entity responsible for the study BioAtla, Inc.

Ultrasound-induced cavitation enhances therapeutic efficacy of AXL-targeting ADC leading to improved survival in a human xenograft model of renal cancer. (AACR-NCI-EORTC 2022)
The purpose of this study was to test a suboptimal single dose of mipasetamab uzoptirine (ADCT-601), an ADC targeting the AXL protein, in combination with ultrasound-induced cavitation in a preclinical mouse model of renal cancer...This was demonstrated for a suboptimal ADC dose, indicating that ultrasound-mediated drug delivery could be used to reduce the administered dose while preserving therapeutic efficacy. These preclinical data warrant further evaluation of this promising combination in the clinic.

Enapotamab Vedotin, an AXL-Specific Antibody-Drug Conjugate, Demonstrates Antitumor Efficacy in Patient-Derived Xenograft Models of Soft Tissue Sarcoma. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Doxorubicin (doxo) remains the standard of care for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS), even though response rates to doxo are only around 14% to 18%. One model was found negative for AXL on experimental passage and did not respond to EnaV. This study provides a preclinical rationale for the evaluation of AXL-targeting ADCs in the treatment of AXL-expressing sarcomas.

Preclinical Development of ADCT-601, a Novel Pyrrolobenzodiazepine Dimer-based Antibody-drug Conjugate Targeting AXL-expressing Cancers. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
Notably, ADCT-601 had antitumor activity in a monomethyl auristatin E-resistant lung-cancer model and synergized with the PARP inhibitor olaparib in a BRCA1-mutated ovarian cancer model. ADCT-601 was well tolerated at doses of up to 6 mg/kg and showed excellent stability in vivo. These preclinical results warrant further evaluation of ADCT-601 in the clinic.

AXL as a therapeutic target in adenoid cystic carcinoma: preclinical evaluation of AXL targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADCT-601) (AACR 2022)
This study demonstrated that ADCT-601 induced a potent and specific in vitro and in-vivo anti-tumor activities in AXL expressing ACC models and suggests further development of ADCT-601 in biomarker driven clinical trials.

INTERIM SAFETY AND EFFICACY RESULTS FROM A PHASE 1/2 STUDY OF BA3011, A CAB-AXL-ADC, IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED SARCOMA OR OTHER SOLID TUMORS (CTOS 2021)
Based on preliminary efficacy and safety results from this study, the benefit-risk profile of BA3011 monotherapy appears to be favorable in subjects with sarcoma. No clinically meaningful on-target toxicity was observed. In Phase 1 sarcoma subjects, evidence of antitumor activity was observed, with higher AXL tumor membrane expression correlating with response.

Cooperative targeting of immunotherapy-resistant melanoma and lung cancer by an AXL-targeting antibody-drug conjugate and immune checkpoint blockade. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
Here we show that enapotamab vedotin (EnaV), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting AXL, effectively targets tumors that display insensitivity to immunotherapy or tumor-specific T cells in several melanoma and lung cancer models...Combining EnaV with tumor-specific T cells proved superior to either treatment alone in models of melanoma and lung cancer and induced ICB benefit in models otherwise insensitive to anti-PD-1 treatment. Our findings indicate that targeting AXL-expressing, immunotherapy-resistant tumors with EnaV causes an immune-stimulating tumor microenvironment and enhances sensitivity to ICB, warranting further investigation of this treatment combination.
