About YH003
YH003 is a humanized IgG2 agonistic anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody independently developed by Biocytogen/Eucure Biopharma. Based on the safety, efficacy, and PK data from the previous phase I study, the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of YH003 was identified as 0.3 mg/kg. The combination of YH003 and Toripalimab has shown encouraging anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Preclinically, YH003, whether used as a single agent or in combination with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drugs, demonstrated strong anti-tumor effects in multiple tumor models in Biocytogen’s humanized CD40 mice, without exhibiting hepatotoxicity or other toxicities. Pharmacodynamic studies in mice indicate that YH003 significantly increased the infiltration of anti-tumor T cells into tumors.
At AACR2024, our collaborator Syncromune revealed initial clinical data of SYNC-T SV-102, which includes YH003 and our clinical-stage CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody YH001. SYNC-T SV-102 demonstrated a very high 85% overall response rate in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
