Medicilon assisted Hangzhou DAC Biotech in approval of clinical study of ADC drug DAC-002

On July 20, 2020, DAC Biotech’s new ADC drug development, TROP2-ADC—DAC-002 was approved of clinical study by NMPA. for the indication of solid malignant tumor. Medicilon completed preclinical pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies in this project, accelerating the development process.

DAC-002 is an ADC anti-Trop2 monoclonal antibody conjugated by an intelligent ligand against Tubulysin B analogue. It is used to treat Trop2 triple negative breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer.Trop2 can promote the proliferation, invasion, metastasis and diffusion of tumor cells, and its high expression is closely related to the shortening of survival time and poor prognosis of tumor patients. Therefore, it is of great significance to study anti-tumor drugs targeted by Trop2.

Medicilon helped DAC Biotech complete the pharmacokinetic and toxicological study of DAC-002. There is no fixed research scheme for ADC drug research. Due to the differentiation of conjugating mode and drug structure, the preclinical research of each ADC drug has different challenges and problems. Medicilon is committed to providing its customers with mature tumor models that evaluate the efficacy of ADC in vivo, complete the modeling and feeding of model animals in AAALAC certified environment, and complete relevant pharmacodynamics evaluation tests at the high standard of GLP-like. Medicilon provides a variety of high-quality test methods for ADC component analytes in vivo, providing customers with reliable and high-quality PK data by analyzing plasma/serum samples collected from animals.

Up to now，Medicilon has completed 7 sets of holistic preclinical studies. Among them, 5 sets have been approved for NMPA clinical trials, and 1 set has been approved for both NMPA and FDA clinical trials. There are several ADC projects under development in collaboration with Medicilon, which will take advantage of its service platform to accelerate the preclinical development and application process of innovative drugs.

Medicilon congratulates DAC Biotech on the periodic success of DAC-002 project, and hopes that other ADC prDojects under development can also be carried out smoothly and declare success as soon as possible.

What is preclinical testing?

In the process of preclinical testing of a compound or biological agent into a drug, the compound involved must go through the testing phase. First, we need to identify potential targets that can treat the disease. Then, a variety of compounds or preparations are screened out. Any compound that has shown potential as a drug for the treatment of this disease needs to be tested for toxicity before clinical testing to reduce the possibility of injury. preclinical testing What is the basis of preclinical testing? According to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, a series of tests are required before a new drug is approved for use. In the first stage, basic research determines a hypothetical target for the treatment of a certain disease, and then screens small molecules or biological compounds to discover any substance with the potential to treat the disease. Then, a preclinical research phase followed, before which, as described above, the potential toxicity of the compou

Inventory of the three major in vitro pharmacokinetic research methods

The metabolic properties of a compound are an essential factor in whether or not it can be used as a drug in the clinical setting, so pharmacokinetic studies of newly synthesized compounds are required in drug development. In vitro incubation with liver microsomes, recombinant CYP450 enzyme lines, and in vitro incubation with hepatocytes are some of the more common in vitro drug metabolism methods. 1. In vitro incubation method with liver microsomes The metabolic stability and metabolic phenotypes of candidate compounds in different species of liver microsomes are good predictors of the metabolic properties of compounds in vivo. They are practical tools for evaluating candidate compounds in the pre-development phase of drug development. Liver microsomes include rat liver microsomes, human liver microsomes, canine liver microsomes, monkey liver microsomes, and mouse liver microsomes. In in vitro incubation of the liver, microsomes are the "gold standard" for in vitro d

Novel Parkinson’s Therapies Possible with New Mouse Model

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is marked by the accumulation of the protein, α-synuclein (αS), into clumps known as Lewy bodies, which diminish neural health. Now, researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) report the development of a mouse model to induce PD-like αS aggregation, leading to resting tremor and abnormal movement control. The mouse responds to L-DOPA, similarly to patients with PD. The team's study (“Abrogating Native α-Synuclein Tetramers in Mice Causes a L-DOPA-Responsive Motor Syndrome Closely Resembling Parkinson’s Disease”) on the use of this transgenic mouse model appears in Neuron . “α-Synuclein (αS) regulates vesicle exocytosis but forms insoluble deposits in PD. Developing disease-modifying therapies requires animal models that reproduce cardinal features of PD. We recently described a previously unrecognized physiological form of αS, α-helical tetramers, and showed that familial PD-causing missense mutati
