"BioNTech SE...announced today the completion of the acquisition of Biotheus...The acquisition was announced on November 2024 and builds on the successful collaboration on the late-stage clinical asset BNT327, an investigational bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF-A, and other bispecific antibody candidates. The transaction is part of BioNTech’s oncology strategy, aimed at expanding the Company’s capabilities to research, develop and commercialize BNT327 as a pan-tumor technology platform for combination therapies. With this completion of the acquisition, BioNTech obtains full global rights to BNT327 and rights to all other candidates of Biotheus’ pipeline as well as to its in-house antibody generation platform and bispecific antibody drug conjugate capability."
In pts with LA/mTNBC, first-line therapy with PM8002/BNT327 combined with nab-paclitaxel showed clinically meaningful survival outcomes and antitumor activity regardless of PD-L1 status, together with a manageable safety profile. No new safety signals were observed beyond those typically described for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-VEGF therapies and nab-paclitaxel. A randomized controlled Phase III clinical trial (NCT06419621) of first-line treatment of TNBC in China and a global Phase II trial (NCT06449222) are ongoing in TNBC.
