A novel fully human anti-ROR1 antibody PBA-0405 optimized for ADCC, induces potent anti-tumor activity against both solid and hematological malignancies. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Our findings demonstrate that 22.0405.aF exhibits far superior ADCC activity compared to anti-ROR1 antibodies, e.g. zilovertamab and R12, tested in clinical trials thus far. 22.0405.aF displayed potent tumor cell killing, both in vitro and in vivo, and induced more potent killing of patient-derived malignant B-cells ex vivo compared to rituximab, without affecting healthy B-cells...These results underscore the therapeutic potential of 22.0405.aF as a promising immunotherapy for treatment of ROR1-positive B-cell malignancies. Notably, 22.0405.aF has recently completed Phase 0 clinical trials in patients with head and neck carcinomas and soft tissue sarcomas, paving the way for further clinical development.
