The freshly prepared mixture was then incubated VIP716 and ispinesib, a clinical stage KSPi. Additionally, toxicology in non-human primates and in vivo TK studies confirm safety, favorable drug exposures, and little non-specific release of the payload. Based on these data, evaluation of VIP943 in human clinical trials is warranted.

Background: Current treatment options (cytarabine with anthracyclines) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are often associated with severe and barely tolerable toxicities...An in vivo patient-derived AML PDX mouse model was treated with VIP943 (5 mg/kg IV every 7 days) or in combination with 5-azacytidine (2.5 mg/kg SC days 1-5 x 3) and venetoclax (50 mg/kg PO days 1-5 x 3)... VIP943 is a next-generation ADC with a differentiated safety profile from currently approved ADCs, including lack of in vitro cytokine release. In vitro and in vivo studies using patient-derived AML cells show VIP943 has favorable monotherapy and combination efficacy including targeting of leukemic stem cells, which drive relapse. These findings warrant evaluating VIP943 in clinical trials.
IL3RA-ADC was well-tolerated and showed no signs of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, or liver toxicity in rats, or in cynomolgus monkeys when dosed up to 20 mg/kg. Overall, the preclinical results support the further development of BAY-943 as an innovative approach for the treatment of IL3RA-positive hematologic malignancies.
