MM-398
MM-398 is a novel, stable nanotherapeutic encapsulation of irinotecan. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted MM-398 orphan drug status for use in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. PharmaEngine, Inc. has rights to develop and commercialize MM-398 in Taiwan under the designation PEP02.
Title: Identifying differential mechanisms of action for MM-398/PEP02, a novel nanotherapeutic encapsulation of irinotecan Poster Session: Topoisomerase Inhibitors Number: C207 Date/Time: Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: West Hall, Level One, Moscone Center West |
|
MM-121
MM-121 is a monoclonal antibody designed to block signaling through the ErbB3 (HER3) receptor. MM-121, in partnership with Sanofi, is in clinical development in patients with breast, lung and ovarian cancer.
Title: Targeting ErbB3 (HER3) and EGFR in Lung Cancer Patients: A Phase I Trial of MM-121 in Combination with Erlotinib in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Poster Session: Clinical Trials 3 Number: C27 Date/Time: Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: West Hall, Level One, Moscone Center West |
|
MM-111
MM-111 is a novel bispecific antibody against ErbB3 (HER3), using an ErbB2 (HER2) targeting arm to enhance avidity and inhibition.
Title: Optimization of MM-111 and lapatinib dosing regimens using mathematical modeling and quantitative biology Poster Session: Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics 3 Number: C118 Date/Time: Tuesday, Nov 15, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: West Hall, Level One, Moscone Convention Center West |
|
MM-302
MM-302 is a nanotherapeutic encapsulation of doxorubicin designed to target ErbB2 (HER2) overexpressing cancer cells, while limiting uptake into non-target cells.
Title: HER2-targeted liposomal doxorubicin, MM-302, has a favorable cardiosafety profile in preclinical models Poster Session: Novel Assay Technology Number: C90 Date/Time: Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: West Hall, Level One, Moscone Center West |
|
MM-151
MM-151 is a mixture of three fully human monoclonal antibodies directed against distinct non-overlapping epitopes in EGFR.
Title: Elucidating mechanisms of action of MM-151, a mixture of three human antibody antagonists targeting EGFR Poster Session: Therapeutic Agents: Biological 1 Number: A210 Date/Time: Sunday, Nov 13, 2011, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: West Hall, Level One, Moscone Center West |
|
Title: Therapeutically targeting high-affinity ligand activation of EGFR with MM-151, an oligoclonal therapeutic Poster Session: EGFR / Her2 Number: A144 Date/Time: Sunday, Nov 13, 2011, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: West Hall, Level One, Moscone Center West |
|
MM-141
MM-141 is a comprehensive IGF-1R signaling inhibitor that is designed to address the redundancies that occur in tumors where both IGF-1R and ErbB3 (HER3) are activated, an approach intended to improve patient response by blocking survival signaling promoted by two separate pathways.
Title: Therapeutically targeting redundant, growth factor-induced pro-survival signaling with MM-141, a novel bispecific antibody targeting IGF-1R and ErbB3 (HER3) Poster Session: Therapeutic Agents: Biological 2 Number: B205 Date/Time: Monday, Nov 14, 2011, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: West Hall, Level One, Moscone Convention Center West |
