APC Comments on Favorable Results in Initial Animal Studies
October 09 2018 - 8:00AM
Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Corporation (“APC” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: APC) (FSE: 0E8), is pleased to report
favorable results in initial animal studies.
Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of
therapeutic agents with the potential to revolutionize current
treatment strategies and regimens. The combination of APC's
proprietary site-selective protein modification technology and
Heidelberg Pharma's proprietary ATAC technology, featuring the
mushroom toxin amanitin, has led to conjugates that possess high
target-specific cytotoxic potency against several cancer cell
lines. The lead conjugate has proceeded to the next level of
testing in vivo.
The company is pleased to announce that analysis of the first
set of a series of ongoing experiments indicate that the lead
antibody-amanitin conjugate has exhibited pronounced efficacy in
the subcutaneous human breast carcinoma tumor model in female nude
mice, the initial subject of testing. These encouraging
results will be reported on more fully, along with the present
round of studies, when they are completed in a few weeks.
Allen Krantz, CSO of APC, commented “it is worthwhile pointing
out at this juncture, that this first in vivo study utilizing APC’s
linker technology represents a milestone: a clear demonstration of
the viability of the technology involving a specific linker-toxin
combination of antibody-drug conjugates directed toward reducing
tumor burden in animal models of cancer.”
ABOUT THE COMPANY:
Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Corporation is developing a
proprietary technology to directly target cancerous tumors and
avoid destroying normal cells. This type of agent is capable
of greater potency, higher specificity and lower toxicity than
other therapies that can also attack healthy cells. The
Company is working to streamline the process by which these agents
are prepared, which to date, has been extremely cumbersome,
limiting their potential.
