(&#8220;MediLink&#8221;), a clinical-stage biotech company, today announced a global clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Amgen Inc. Amgen will lead a global clinical study to evaluate the therapeutic potential of the combination of MediLink&#8217;s B7-H3-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) YL201 and Amgen&#8217;s DLL3- and CD3-targeting bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE\u00ae) IMDELLTRA\u2122 in extensive-stage&nbsp;small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) under the clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement. MediLink will provide the investigational drug YL201 for the combination study.<\/p>\n<p>This open-label, global, multi-center Phase Ib clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of this combination regimen in ES-SCLC patients.<\/p>\n<p>Both YL201 and IMDELLTRA\u2122 have shown potential in ES-SCLC. In May of this year, IMDELLTRA\u2122 received accelerated approval from the FDA and is currently marketed in the US for the treatment of adult patients with ES-SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). The efficacy of YL201 monotherapy is encouraging in ES-SCLC. MediLink has announced the data of a Phase I\/II clinical trial of YL201 in patients with advanced solid tumors including SCLC as a selected oral presentation at the ESMO Congress 2024. This clinical trial collaboration aims to explore the potential of the two innovative drugs in the treatment of ES-SCLC and offer a novel and synergetic mechanism of action for clinical benefit.<\/p>\n<p><b>About ES-SCLC<\/b><\/p>\n<p>SCLC is an aggressive high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma with extremely poor outcomes <sup>[1]<\/sup>. SCLC comprises roughly 15% (~0.36 million new cases) of the 2.4 million new lung cancer cases worldwide each year <sup>[2]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately two-thirds of patients with SCLC present with extensive-stage (ES)&nbsp;disease at diagnosis, featuring tumors with distant metastasis or exceeding an area that can be treated within a single radiation field <sup>[3-5]<\/sup>. Patients with ES-SCLC, compared with patients with limited-stage (LS-SCLC), manifested with worse prognosis as the median expected overall survival is ~12 months following initial therapy and a 5-year overall survival rate of 3% <sup>[6-8]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About YL201<\/b><\/p>\n<p>YL201 is an innovative ADC that specifically targets B7-H3. B7-H3 is overexpressed on different malignant cells and cancer-initiating cells of various tumor types, but has a restricted expression in normal tissue <sup>[9]<\/sup>, indicating its potential as an ADC drug target. YL201 has been developed by utilizing MediLink&#8217;s Tumor Microenvironment Activable LINker-payload (TMALIN\u00ae) conjugated with a highly specific B7-H3 antibody. Currently, YL201 is being investigated in four Phase I or II studies, including one global Phase I clinical study.<\/p>\n<p><b>About IMDELLTRA<\/b><b>\u2122<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>IMDELLTRA\u2122 is a first-in-class, targeted immunotherapy engineered by Amgen researchers that binds to both DLL3 on tumor cells and CD3 on T cells, activating T cells to kill DLL3-expressing SCLC cells. This results in the formation of a cytolytic synapse with lysis of the cancer cell <sup>[10-11]<\/sup>.&nbsp;DLL3 is a protein that is expressed on the surface of SCLC cells in ~85-96% of patients with SCLC, but is minimally expressed on healthy cells, making it an exciting target <sup>[12-13]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><b>IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME AND NEUROLOGIC TOXICITY including IMMUNE<\/b>&nbsp;<b>EFFECTOR CELL-ASSOCIATED NEUROTOXICITY SYNDROME<\/b><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including serious or life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving IMDELLTRA<sup>TM<\/sup>.

Recurrent CRS occurred in 24% of patients, including 18% Grade 1 and 6% Grade 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most events (43%) of CRS occurred after the first dose, with 29% of patients experiencing any grade CRS after the second dose and 9% of patients experiencing CRS following the third dose or later. Following the Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15 infusions, 16%, 4.3% and 2.1% of patients experienced \u2265 Grade 2 CRS, respectively. The median time to onset of all grade CRS from most recent dose of IMDELLTRA<sup>TM<\/sup> was 13.5 hours (range 1 to 268 hours). The median time to onset of \u2265 Grade 2 CRS from most recent dose of IMDELLTRATM was 14.6 hours (range: 2 to 566 hours).<\/p>\n<p>Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included pyrexia, hypotension, fatigue, tachycardia, headache, hypoxia, nausea, and vomiting.
