Novartis experience with moving (in this case, conjugated) anti-kit into clinic mirrored the CLDX experience with CDX-0158. CDX-0159 has, again, been engineered to eliminate Fc interactions and to extend half-life.....

LOP628, a KIT targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC), induced tumor regression in preclinical tumor models and had a tolerable safety profile in nonhuman primates thus supporting its clinical utility. Unexpectedly, three patients enrolled in a LOP628 phase I clinical trial experienced rapid hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs). Here we show that LOP628-mediated mast cell degranulation is likely the cause of the observed HSR and that the co-engagement of the Fc gamma receptor and KIT on mast cells is the underlying mechanism.
