🚀 First-in-Class, Safety-Improved Fully Human Nectin-4 × TROP2 Bispecific ADC for Urothelial Cancer While Nectin-4 and TROP2 have each demonstrated strong clinical validation in urothelial cancer (UC), current therapies are still challenged by dose-limiting toxicities and emerging resistance. 🎯 We strategically designed BCG039 to address these limitations through dual-target engagement and a differentiated safety design featuring attenuated TROP2 affinity binding. Developed using Biocytogen’s RenLite® platform, BCG039 incorporates a common light chain design to support streamlined manufacturability and favorable developability properties. 🔬 Key Highlights: ► Strong dual-target binding and cooperative internalization ► Attenuated TROP2 affinity design with potential safety advantages ► Superior and sustained tumor suppression in preclinical models ► Potential for an improved therapeutic window in UC treatment BCG039 represents our continued commitment to advancing next-generation bispecific ADCs designed to balance efficacy and safety for patients with urothelial cancer. 📩 Contact us to request the full data package: https://lnkd.in/eXHGT_Pp #Biocytogen #ADC #BispecificADC #Oncology #AntibodyDiscovery #DrugDevelopment #UrothelialCancer

🐭Beyond GLP-1: Humanized Mouse Models for Next-Gen Metabolic Therapeutics Metabolic disease drug development is evolving beyond single-pathway approaches toward multi-target biology and metabolic resilience — from obesity to MASH. While GLP-1-based therapies have transformed the treatment landscape, the field is now advancing toward broader therapeutic goals, including lean mass preservation, metabolic health, and durable weight management. Next-generation strategies are expanding the field: 🔬 Multi-receptor agonists (GLP-1/GIP, GLP-1/GCGR, triple agonists) 🔬 Emerging targets including INHBE and GPR75 🔬 RNA-based therapeutics for precise pathway modulation To support these advances, predictive in vivo models are becoming increasingly important. Our humanized mouse model portfolio is designed to provide clinically relevant insights and support the next generation of metabolic therapeutic development. 📩 Get in touch: https://lnkd.in/eXHGT_Pp #Biocytogen #MetabolicDisease #ObesityResearch #MASH #GLP1 #RNAi #DrugDiscovery #PreclinicalResearch
