Trends in Oncology mAb Therapy

Antibody-drug conjugation (payloads)

– T-DM1 (Herceptin + payload), Ph III, Genentech/ImmunoGen

Genentech plans to file 1-2 INDs on payload drugs annually

– SGN-35 (CD30 + payload), Ph III, Seattle Genetics

Focus on effector functions

– e.g. Xencor, Macrogenics, Glycart, Micromet – BiTE, Merrimack – HER2/HER3

The Affibody® molecule is an optimal payload carrier

The Value of Antibody Mimetics – Example of Deals

Amgen acquired Avidia for $290m (2006)

Amgen bought Avidia to get access to a small scaffold protein, based on only early preclinical data.

Pfizer bought BioRexis for an unknown amount (2006)

The acquisition gave Pfizer proprietary rights to transferin as a scaffold, and for halflife extension of peptides. Only preclinical data were available at the time of purchase.

GSK acquired Domantis for $455m (2006)

Domantis was a domain antibody scaffold company. Only preclinical data were available at the time of purchase.

BMS bought Adnexus for $430 million (2007)

Adnexus had proprietary rights to fibronectin as a scaffold, and for halflife extension of peptides. Only preclinical data were available at the time of purchase.

Significant values have been realized by similar technologies
