ADAGENE ANNOUNCES PRECLINICAL DATA AT AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HEMATOLOGY ANNUAL MEETING

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- Adagene Inc (Adagene), a platform-driven, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company has announced publication of two abstracts featuring preclinical data from its expanding pipeline in advance of the 63rd ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition.

The preclinical results show compelling differentiation of ADG153, an anti-CD47 SAFEbody and ADG152, a CD20xCD3 POWERbody™ integrating the company’s proprietary bispecific T-cell engager (TCE) platform with SAFEbody masking technology.

The full abstracts will be available on the ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition website in anticipation of poster presentations at the hybrid meeting being held virtually and in Atlanta, Georgia from Dec 11-14.

“We are excited to share the first preclinical results from our ongoing evaluation of ADG152 and ADG153, which are two novel programs emerging from our deep, broad, and differentiated pipeline,” said Co-founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Adagene, Peter Luo, Ph.D.

“We look forward to presenting more detailed results during the ASH sessions, including new data from our ADG153 program, with one of the first ever anti-CD47 antibodies of the IgG1 isotype on track for clinical development,” he said in a statement.

The preclinical findings also reflect the advantages of the company’s AI-driven antibody discovery and development platform, which integrates the dynamic properties of antibody-based therapeutics into structure and design.

Specifically, by targeting novel epitopes and introducing conditionally-activated masking technology, Adagene develops antibody candidates with tailor-made safety and efficacy profiles. 

When applied to powerful antibody-based modalities such as bispecific TCEs and antibody-drug conjugates, these therapeutic candidates are designed to reach beyond the therapeutic potency of traditional monospecific antibodies, while maintaining patient safety.

Both ADG152 and ADG153 are potential Investigational New Drug candidates from Adagene’s growing portfolio of preclinical discovery programs, five of which are in IND-enabling studies.
