 Innovent has initiated a phase 1 study (NCT06349408 ) of IBI3001, a bispecific ADC that targets B7-H3 and EGFR, in patients with solid tumors. Additionally, Innovent is conducting a phase 1 trial ( NCT05774873 ) of IBI344, a bispecific antibody that also targets B7-H3 and EGFR. Schematic overview of crosstalk between the EGFR signaling and the B7/CD28 family Recent research has suggested that the overexpression of novel B7/CD28 family proteins, including B7-H3 may be linked to EGFR signaling and could potentially lead to resistance to EGFR-targeted treatments by promoting an immune-depressed environment within the tumor microenvironment. IBI3001 According to the statement by Innovent, IBI3001 is a  site-specifically glycan-conjugated ADC that consists of a topoisomerase I inhibitor  with  multiple anti-tumor mechanisms of action : (1) enhanced EGFR signaling blockade; (2) EGFR- and B7-H3-aided payload internalization and cytotoxicity; and (3) potent bystander killing effects of ADC.

  Jing Medicine (和径医药) has submitted the IND application for HJ-002-03, an EGFR-PROTAC, intended for patients with non-small cell lung cancer in China. HJ-002 is the first PROTAC in the IND stage developed by Jing Medicine. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.114533 In 2022, Jing Medicine received IND approval for HJM-353 , an EED inhibitor, in both China and the United States, however, no clinical study has been initiated as of yet. In 2021, Jing Medicine filed a patent (WO2022268229) claiming the PROTACs targeting EGFR, ALK, and ROS1.  These CRBN-based PROTACs, designed with Brigatinib analogs that target ALK and EGFR kinases, may offer a potential new approach for treating lung cancer by inducing targeted protein degradation.  Brigatinib and Embodiments in the Patent E95 and E123 demonstrated potent degradation activity, with DC50 values around single-digit nM and achieving over 90% degradation (Dmax) for EGFR-DTC (Del19/T790M/C797S), EGFR-LTC (EGFR L858R/T790M/C797S), and EGFR-
