"The promising data we are about to present at this year's AACR Annual Meeting underscore Antengene's ongoing focus on the innovation of oncology drugs, our strong in-house expertise in developing antibody and small molecule therapies and impressive platform innovations," said Dr. Bing Hou, Antengene's Head of Discovery Science & Translational Medicine. "Tumor selective epigenetic inhibitors is one of the areas of focus for Antengene. At the meeting, we will present the first data from our MTAPnull-selective PRMT5 inhibitor program and the first candidate from our companion diagnostic program, a CDx to support our novel Claudin 18.2 ADC, ATG-022. In addition, we are keenly interested in T cell engagers and look forward to presenting results on Antengene's unique AnTenGager™ platform and one of our first lead programs targeting LILRB4 for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). Building on those promising results, we will forge ahead with our innovative work for the benefit of more cancer patients around the world."
