A novel bispecific antibody-drug conjugate, BCG016, that targets 5T4 and MUC1, demonstrates robust preclinical antitumor activity (Section 6) - Mar 17, 2026 - Abstract #AACR2026AACR_9827; BCG016, in combination with a TOP1 inhibitor linker-payload (BLD1102), exhibited enhanced efficacy in PDX models compared to parental ADCs, significantly outperforming benchmark ADCs targeting 5T4 and MUC1.ConclusionIn summary, we have developed a novel bispecific ADC that targets both 5T4 and the membrane-bound MUC1-C. BCG016 showed superior anti-tumor efficacy in PDX models, underscoring its potential as a new therapeutic option for tumors that co-express 5T4 and MUC1.

Journal: DS-3939a: A TA-MUC1-directed Antibody-Drug Conjugate with Broad Anti-Tumor Activity. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2025 P1/2 Moreover, DS-3939a elicited strong tumor regression in several xenograft models even following treatment with other cytotoxic ADCs, likely through its efficient payload delivery. Overall, these data provide evidence for the potential utility of DS-3939a for the treatment of TA-MUC1-expressing tumors and support the rationale for the ongoing phase I/II clinical study (NCT05875168).

MUC1*-deruxtecan kills tumors that have acquired resistance to trastuzumab containing therapeutics (Section 24; Poster Board No: 20) - Mar 25, 2025 - Abstract #AACR2025AACR_3021; However, most patients, develop resistance to HER2-directed therapies and experience progressive disease leaving them with few treatment options. Here we've shown that HER2 positive breast cancer cells acquire resistance to trastuzumab by increasing expression of the powerful growth factor receptor MUC1*.

Development of novel MUC1-C targeting antibody-drug conjugate for pancreatic cancer treatment. () - Apr 24, 2024 - Abstract #ASCO2024ASCO_4657; Anti-MUC1 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) were generated by coupling monomethyl auristatin E (3D1-MMAE, 7B8-MMAE) via V-C-PAB linker and characterized for anti-tumor activity against pancreatic cancer cells including MIA PaCa-1, CAPAN2 and HAPF-II... Targeted delivery of MMAE toxin to the pancreatic cancer cells presents an exciting opportunity for a novel therapeutic intervention for the treatment of pancreatic cancer patients with MUC1 over expression in tumors.

A phase 1/2, first-in-human study of DS-3939a in patients with advanced solid tumors: A new DXd ADC targeting TA-MUC1. (Hall A; Poster Bd #: 307b) - Apr 24, 2024 - Abstract #ASCO2024ASCO_2136; P1/2 Part 2 will also evaluate efficacy by objective tumor response rate per RECIST version 1.1 as a primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints include the disease control rate, duration of response, time to response, progression-free survival, overall survival, TA-MUC1 expression (detected by immunohistochemistry), the pharmacokinetic profile of DS-3939a, and the number of patients with anti-drug antibodies against DS-3939a.

BCG016, a first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate targeting 5T4 and MUC1, demonstrates potent preclinical anti-tumor activity (Section 2) - Mar 5, 2024 - Abstract #AACR2024AACR_5572; Cytotoxicity assays indicate that BCG016 improved tumor cell killing in vitro compared to benchmark ADCs, and in vivo efficacy studies showed superior anti-tumor efficacy of BCG016 in patient-derived NSCLC xenografts compared to benchmark ADCs and parental ADC combination therapy.In summary, we have generated a novel bispecific ADC targeting 5T4 and the cleaved MUC1-C protein, which remains membrane-bound on tumor cells. The 5T4-MUC1 bsADC showed superior anti-tumor efficacy in PDX models and has the potential to be a novel therapeutic for 5T4 and MUC1 co-expressing tumors.
