Cspc Innovation Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (300765.SZ) has announced that its controlling subsidiary, CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., has initiated an open-label, multi-cohort, multicenter Phase II clinical trial. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SYS6041 in combination therapy for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
SYS6041 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed by CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical, targeting the folate receptor alpha (FRα). Its antibody component specifically binds to cells expressing FRα and internalizes into the lysosomes of these cells. Once inside, it is cleaved by cathepsin enzymes to release a small-molecule toxin鈥攁 topoisomerase I inhibitor鈥攚hich kills tumor cells. Additionally, this mechanism may induce a bystander effect, allowing for non-specific killing of surrounding tumor tissue cells.
