News Release
Sorrento Announces Subsidiary Company - ADNAB, Inc. - to Develop and Commercialize ADNAB™ Platform Products for Hematological Malignancies and Solid Tumors Based on an Exclusive Technology License From the Mayo Clinic
- The ADNAB™ platform was developed and exclusively licensed to Sorrento by the
Mayo Clinic
- Clinical studies utilizing the ADNAB™ platform are ongoing at the
Mayo Clinic ; and are evaluating multiple platform-generated products in advanced-stage: endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, angiosarcoma, and B-Cell lymphomas - Study LS1681 is a Mayo Investigator-Initiated-Trial (IIT) for relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas; and is evaluating rituximab-ADNAB™ (nab-paclitaxel nanoparticles non-covalently coated with rituximab)1
- Study MC1371 is a Mayo Investigator-Initiated-Trial (IIT) for various solid tumors; and has completed a dose escalation phase2. To date, 9 endometrial and ovarian cancer patients, that had failed at least one prior regimen containing bevacizumab, were treated with bevacizumab-ADNAB™ (nab-paclitaxel nanoparticles non-covalently coated with bevacizumab).3
An ADNAB™ is an immune complex of nanoparticle albumin-bound drug products e.g., nab-paclitaxel, which are non-covalently conjugated with tumor-targeting monoclonal antibodies (mAb’s). The ADNAB™ platform was developed by
Utilizing Sorrento’s G-MAB™ library of fully humanized monoclonal antibodies, the ADNAB™ platform will generate a broad portfolio of product candidates targeting liquid and solid tumors. “We believe this platform has broad potential.” said
“I think this technology has the potential to be impactful” said
“The Mayo team has spent years fine-tuning this technology and now we have a collaborator that can provide the resources necessary to accelerate and scale this program,” said
“The published clinical studies testing this platform technology are encouraging and we are looking forward to working with the Mayo team on both the ongoing and future clinical studies. Unquestionably, Sorrento and Mayo share the common goal of utilizing this technology to develop multiple therapies for the possible benefit of cancer patients,” noted Ji.
About
Sorrento is a clinical stage, antibody-centric, biopharmaceutical company developing new therapies to treat cancers and COVID-19. Sorrento’s multimodal, multipronged approach to fighting cancer is made possible by its extensive immuno-oncology platforms, including key assets such as fully human antibodies (“G-MAB™ library”), clinical stage immuno-cellular therapies (“CAR-T”, “DAR-T™”), antibody-drug conjugates (“ADCs”), and clinical stage oncolytic virus (“Seprehvir™”). Sorrento is also developing potential antiviral therapies and vaccines against coronaviruses, including COVI-GUARD™, COVI-AMG™, COVI-SHIELD™, Gene-MAb™, COVI-MSC™ and COVI-DROPS™; and diagnostic test solutions, including COVI-TRACK™, COVI-STIX™ and COVI-TRACE™.
Sorrento’s commitment to life-enhancing therapies for patients is also demonstrated by our effort to advance a first-in-class (TRPV1 agonist) non-opioid pain management small molecule, resiniferatoxin (“RTX”), and SP-102 (10 mg, dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel) (SEMDEXA™), a novel, viscous gel formulation of a widely used corticosteroid for epidural injections to treat lumbosacral radicular pain, or sciatica, and to commercialize ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% for the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia. RTX has completed a phase IB trial for intractable pain associated with cancer and a phase 1B trial in osteoarthritis patients. SEMDEXA is in a pivotal Phase 3 trial for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain, or sciatica. ZTlido® was approved by the FDA on
