- First therapeutic candidate targets Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer and Gastric Cancer
- Second therapeutic candidate targets platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer and Primary Peritoneal Cancer
OS Therapies (NYSE American: OSTX) (“OS Therapies” or “the Company”), a clinical-stage immunotherapy and Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) biopharmaceutical company, today announced the development and in vitro concept data for two novel ADC therapeutic candidates leveraging the Company’s proprietary SiLinker™ technology. The Company has completed target engagement tests for both therapeutic candidates and confirmed their therapeutic potential. These new constructs will target Breast, Lung and Gastric Cancer; and Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Primary Peritoneal Cancer, respectively.
The Company is advancing its tADC platform through successive product development de-risking milestones and intends to out-license certain therapeutic candidates and components that are strategic to potential partners’ pipelines – particularly the ph-sensitive SiLinker™. The Company’s first tADC asset OST-tADC-FRa-H has achieved proof of concept in animal models of ovarian cancer. With the additional two constructs now added to the pipeline, the Company is positioning itself to become a key provider of intellectual property for new therapeutic product development to partners. All while continuing to focus its internal resources on bringing to market the OST-HER2 off-the-shelf immunotherapy cancer vaccine platform for canines with osteosarcoma, and for humans with osteosarcoma and other HER2 positive cancers such as breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
