Antikor, based in Stevenage, UK are innovators in ADCs (Antibody-Drug Conjugates). After many years of disappointment and failures, the ADC area has recently resurged, doubling the number of product approvals in the last 2 years. However, despite this renewed optimism, treating difficult solid tumours like gastric, pancreatic and lung remain a significant challenge which is where Antikor’s Fragment Drug Conjugate (FDC) technology fits. FDCs uses smaller antibody formats, optimised for superior tumour penetration, but systemically clear more rapidly providing reduced normal tissue exposure. Using carefully chosen, stable human frameworks, highly tolerable to bioconjugation, Antikor’s FDCs obtain higher payload loading ratios making them more potent. These features leads to benefits of improved efficacy and superior tolerability leading to a larger therapeutic window for treating solid tumours. Antikor has a strong platform for FDC discovery, an integrated R&D team to develop innovative products, backed by strong IP. Antikor’s two lead programmes are at the advanced pre-clinical stage: ANT-43 (breast and gastric cancer) is partnered with Hong Kong-listed Pharma company, Essex Biotechnology and our new flagship programme, ANT-45 is for gastric, lung and colon cancer. Antikor attended BioFIT 2020 to introduce its technology and products and to initiate partnership discussions for ANT-45.
