Y-mAbs Announces Presentation of SADA Technology at AACR
April 08 2022 - 9:00AM
Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Y-mAbs”) (Nasdaq:
YMAB) a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of novel, antibody-based
therapeutic products for the treatment of cancer, today
announced that a poster presentation featuring preclinical
data from its GD2 SADA construct will be presented at the AACR
Annual Meeting 2022, which takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana
from April 8-13, 2022.
Pre-clinical models have shown that the
tetramerizing function of the SADA domain appears to be important
to the binding activity and anti-tumor effect of GD2 SADA. Data
confirms that the SADA domain seems to increase tumor antigen
binding, uptake and persistence in tumor tissue, and markedly
improves anti-tumor responses in pre-clinical models.
The SADA technology was licensed by the Company
from Memorial Sloan Kettering (“MSK”) and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. Researchers at MSK developed the SADA
technology for radioimmunotherapy, which is exclusively licensed by
MSK to Y-mAbs. MSK has institutional financial interests in the
technology.
