- Updated safety & efficacy data in locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients will be presented from a phase 1 clinical study evaluating BL-B01D1, an EGFRxHER3 bispecific topoisomerase inhibitor- based antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)
REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SystImmune, Inc. (SystImmune), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, today announced that a poster for BL-B01D1, a potentially first-in-class EGFRxHER3 bispecific antibody drug conjugate (ADC) will be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) 2024, taking place on December 10-13 in San Antonio, Texas. BL-B01D1 is being jointly developed by SystImmune and Bristol Myers Squibb under an exclusive license and collaboration agreement.
Updated results from clinical trials of BL-B01D1 will include data from patients with advanced stage triple-negative, HR-positive / HER2-negative, and HER2-positive breast cancer. The data to be presented at SABCS highlights continued progress of BL-B01D1 clinical development and builds upon the previously reported clinical data in lung, breast and bladder cancer patients.
"These data substantially add to the body of evidence that shows encouraging signals of efficacy in main breast cancer subtypes and strengthens our conviction that BL-B01D1 has a manageable safety profile," said Jonathan Cheng, M.D., CMO of SystImmune. "We are committed to continuing the development of this therapy through clinical trials and exploring its potential both as a monotherapy and in combination with other agents, to improve outcomes for cancer patients globally."
Details on the presentations at SABCS are below:

Presentation Number: P5-07-27/Abstract SESS-630
Speaker: Jiong Wu, M.D.
Onsite Poster display date: Friday, December 13th, 2024
About BL-B01D1
The company is developing BL-B01D1, a bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets both EGFR and HER3. These proteins are highly expressed in most epithelial tumors. The tetravalent BL-B01D1 has two binding domains for distinct Growth Factor Receptors that drive cancer cell proliferation and survival. Inheriting the SI-B001 mechanisms of action, BL-B01D1 blocks EGFR and HER3 signals to cancer cells, reducing proliferation and survival signals. Upon antibody mediated internalization, BL-B01D1 is trafficked to cancer cell lysosomes and liberates its therapeutic payload that induces genotoxic stress activating pathways leading to cancer cell death.
