PharmAbcine to Present Preclinical Data of Blood Vessel Stabilizing PMC-402 at 2020 AACR Meeting



Published: May 19, 2020


Daejeon, Korea, May 19, 2020 - PharmAbcine Inc. (KOSDAQ: 208340) announced today that it will present preclinical data of PMC-402, an active vessel stabilizing monoclonal antibody, at the 2020 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).  The meeting will be held on June. 22nd – June. 24th. All poster presentations will be made available online on the first day of the meeting.


PMC-402 is a next generation therapeutic antibody that regulates the formation of functional blood vessels.  It is expected to induce normalization of leaky blood vessels formed around tumor mass in a ligand-independent manner. It has demonstrated its anti-tumor effect in a mouse model for colon cancer, corroborated by the improvement in immune cell infiltration and delivery of anti-cancer agents to a tumor site when administered as a single agent or as a combination therapy regimen.


The presentation will include the unique molecular mechanism of the vessel stabilizer and its anti-tumor activity, supported by preclinical data including changes in capillary formation, improvement of hypoxic condition in TME, and increased numbers of TILs (Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes) upon treatment. The highlight of the presentation will be the anti-tumor effects observed in a mouse model for colon cancer following the treatment of a single agent or combination with anti-PD1 antibody. Due to its lack of cross activity against mouse Tie2, PharmAbcine developed and used PMC-403, a surrogate of PMC-402.


Poster presentation details:


Title: A novel anti-Tie2 antibody stabilized vessel and increased tumor infiltrated lymphocyte

Session Category: Angiogenesis and Vascular Normalization in Tumor Immunity and Treatment Response

Session Date and Time: Monday June 22nd , 2020
