Adagene announced today interim dose-escalation results through 0.3 mg/kg of ADG116.

  • The data is part of the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial in Australia evaluating the safety and tolerability of ADG116 in patients with advanced/metastasized solid tumors.
  • ADAG’s proprietary NEObody platform enables the production of ADG116, a fully human, anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody.
  • ADG116 features an entirely new mechanism of action that balances safety and effectiveness.
  • In combination with CTLA-4 ligand inhibition or depletion of the Treg via strong antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, ADG116 maintains its original physiological function.
