Preclinical Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, and Safety Profile of OBI-992: A Novel TROP2-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugate.

ABSTRACT: OBI-992, a novel TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), is composed of an anti-TROP2 antibody conjugated to exatecan, a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor, via an enzyme-cleavable hydrophilic linker. The stability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and off-target toxicity of OBI-992 were evaluated and compared with a benchmark ADC, datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd). OBI-992 exhibited better stability in human and monkey serum than Dato-DXd, which was further supported by in vivo PK study in rats. OBI-992 displayed a favorable pharmacokinetic profile compared with Dato-DXd in non-small cell lung cancer cell line-derived xenograft mouse models (NCI-H1975 and NCI-H1975/C797S), with lower clearance, longer half-lives of ADC in serum, and higher exposure of payload in tumor. The higher level of
