GtoPdb Ligand ID: 12229

Synonyms: KVD900
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: ZWB67 is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that simultaneously targets the tumour antigen claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) and the CD3e molecule on effector T cells [1]. It uses the VH and VL domains from the anti-hCD3e from Amgen's CD3e/PSMA bispecific pasotuxizumab. Affinity for CD3e is low by design. ZWB67 is intended to induce an anti-tumour immune response against CLDN18.2+ve cancers [1]. ZWB67 has demonstrated in vivo efficacy in a mice bearing MC-38-hCLDN18.2 xenograft tumours.

Bioactivity Comments
Binds to hCLND18.2 expressed in HEK293T cells with an EC50 of ~2 μg/mL [1]. Activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway by ZWB67 (via CD3e engagement) is dependent upon binding to CLDN18.2; there is no activation in CLDN18.2-negative cells.
