The preclinical data support the test of BB-1701 in patients with various HER2-expressing cancers, including those resistant to other HER2-targeting ADCs. A phase I clinical trial of BB-1701 (NCT04257110) in patients is currently underway.
Background: BB-1701 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a humanized IgG1κ monoclonal anti-HER2 antibody with the same sequence as trastuzumab and eribulin linked together by a cathepsin-cleavable valine-citrulline linker...One patient who achieved PR was previously progressed on sacituzumab govitecan... BB-1701 has demonstrated promising preliminary antitumor activity in HER2 low breast cancer including patients who received prior anti-HER2 ADCs, and a manageable safety profile.
Background: BB-1701 is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a humanized IgG1κ monoclonal antibody and eribulin. BB-1701 was generally well tolerated up to 2.6 mg/kg dose levels and has shown promising antitumor activity in patients with HER2-overexpression solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT04257110.
BB-1701 also showed effective tumor suppression in models insensitive to T-DM1 or T-Dxd. In conclusion, these comprehensive preclinical data have strongly supported BB-1701 as a potent antitumor agent to cancers including HER2-low expressing and/or cancers insensitive to other HER2-targeting ADCs. A phase I clinical study of BB-1701 in those patients is ongoing.
