Alphamab inks Sanofi collaboration on novel cancer therapy

In another U.S.-China deal, Jiangsu Alphamab Biopharma, a subsidiary of Alphamab Oncology, has partnered with Sanofi to co-develop its HER2-positive breast cancer treatment as it enters mid-stage clinical trials.

KN026 is an antibody that binds to two sites, or epitopes, on HER2, a type of protein that is up-regulated in HER2-positive breast cancer. The dual-binding blocks the activation of HER2 signaling pathway.

Alphamab’s clinical trial will investigate KN026’s effectiveness in treating patients with metastatic, HER2-positive breast cancer, either as a monotherapy or in combination with Sanofi’s chemotherapy agent Taxotere, otherwise known as docetaxel.

The Phase 2 study is currently recruiting patients and is estimated to complete towards the end of 2021, records on clinicaltrials.gov showed.
