Phase 3 study for HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer (CTR20231740) started in July 2023. Pivotal phase 2 CTR20212088 for breast cancer status is "In progress Recruitment completed". CTR20212088 Phase 2 pivotal study is ongoing in China as per company website accessed Feb 2023 (https://www.kluspharma.com/pipeline) NCT03602079 Phase 1/2 study active not recruiting as of last update in Feb 2022; NCT05346328 Phase 2 study sponsored by Fudan University due to start in June 2022. June 04, 2021 Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. announced that Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Kelun”), a license and development partner, will present posters at this year’s American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting to be held June 5-6, 2021, releasing Phase 1 data for its HER2-ADC, A166. To generate this site-specific third generation antibody drug conjugate (ADC), Kelun partnered with Levena Biopharma, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sorrento, which provided the patent-protected technologies for the generation and production of A166, including (1) a proprietary small molecule toxin, Duostatin-5, a tubulin inhibitor, (2) K-Lock, a site-specific conjugation technology and (3) an enzymatically cleavable linker. Compared to its commercial competitors, A166 demonstrated a better safety profile in the initial study and potentially better efficacy, as shown in the overall response rate (ORR) of 71.4% (A166) at 6.0 mg/kg vs DS-8201, which has an ORR of 60.9% (DS-8201) at 5.4 mg/kg.
