CD276 (B7-H3) Is an Immunotherapeutic Target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Preclinical Efficacy of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine, an Investigational CD276 Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ASH 2023)
Vobra duo showed robust in vitro cytolytic activity against CD276 positive AML cells highlighting the need for ongoing preclinical evaluations of CD276 targeted therapies in AML. Given the established safety profile for vobra duo this provides a clear path for rapid translation to clinical use for high risk AML patients.

Anti-tumor activity of vobramitamab duocarmazine (MGC018), an investigational duocarmycin-based anti-B7‑H3 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in preclinical neuroblastoma models (AACR 2023)
In the pseudometastatic model and in five orthotopic NB mouse models, weekly iv treatments with 1 mg/kg MGC018 for 3 weeks resulted in delayed tumor growth and increased survival rates compared to animals treated with an irrelevant (anti-CD20) duocarmycin-ADC or an anti-GD2 antibody (dinutuximab beta). A 4-week course of treatment further ameliorated MGC018 antitumor effect in both the orthotopic and resected NB models and increased the survival of NB-bearing mice co-treated with TOpotecan-TEMozolomide (TOTEM), the standard-of-care therapy for relapsed disease. MGC018 exerts relevant antitumor activity in pre-clinical NB models and may represent a potential candidate for future NB clinical translation.

B7-H3/CD276 Inhibitors: Is There Room for the Treatment of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer? (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
In addition to its role in immune modulation, B7-H3 also promotes pro-tumorigenic functions such as tumor migration, invasion, metastases, resistance, and metabolism. In this review, we will provide an overview of this newly characterized immune checkpoint molecule and its development in the management of metastatic NSCLC.

[VIRTUAL] Targeting B7-H3 in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: Preclinical proof-of-concept with the investigational anti-B7-H3 antibody-drug conjugate, MGC018 (AACR 2021)
We are developing therapeutics targeting B7-H3, including enoblituzumab, an Fc-engineered anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody, and MGC018, a duocarmycin-based B7-H3 ADC, both of which are currently being evaluated in clinical studies. B7-H3 is frequently overexpressed in SCCHN. At clinically relevant dose levels, MGC018 demonstrated potent antitumor activity in vivo toward SCCHN CDX mouse models and the majority of SCCHN PDX mouse models examined. These results support SCCHN as a potential indication that may be responsive to ADC-based treatments directed toward B7-H3.

Preclinical Development of MGC018, a Duocarmycin-based Antibody-drug Conjugate Targeting B7-H3 for Solid Cancer. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
Importantly, MGC018 exhibited a favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profile in cynomolgus monkeys following repeat-dose administration. The antitumor activity observed preclinically with MGC018, together with the positive safety profile, provides evidence of a potentially favorable therapeutic index and supports the continued development of MGC018 for the treatment of solid cancers.

[VIRTUAL] MGC018, a duocarmycin-based antibody-drug conjugate targeting B7-H3, exhibits immunomodulatory activity and enhanced antitumor activity in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (AACR-II 2020)
MGC018, a clinical-stage therapeutic comprised of a humanized antibody targeting B7-H3, conjugated to a duocarmycin-based DNA alkylating payload, exhibits a favorable preclinical profile. Results from these syngeneic model studies support the hypothesis that the antitumor activity of the duocarmycin-based MGC018 ADC (1) mediates immunomodulatory activity, (2) is enhanced by combination with checkpoint blockade, and (3) induces immunological memory. Our findings support a clinical strategy that combines MGC018 with checkpoint blockade for the treatment of B7-H3-expressing solid cancers.
