SPESN38-8 / Sunstate Biosciences - LARVOL DELTA

Efficacy and toxicity of the antitumor agent SPESN38-8. (ASCO 2026) - "Only prodrug approach on SN38 has resulted in 2 types of drugs, irinotecan and sacituzumab govitecan... Our patented single protein encapsulation (SPE) platform, allowing encapsulation of small-molecule drugs by a single protein (albumins or globulins) without artificial nanoparticles and chemical modifications to drugs and proteins, has made SPEDOX-6 into human phase IB/IIA clinical trial (NCT0764018)... SPESN38 complexes provide a novel water soluble SN38 formulation. SPESN38‑5 & SPESN38‑8 demonstrate better PK values, lower toxicity and superior antitumor efficacy in mouse models, compared with irinotecan, DOX & doxorubicin. FDA has green-lighted SPESN38-8 (IND #: 164346) for clinical development."

Antibody-encapsulated actinomycin D for targeted cancer treatments. (ASCO 2026) - "Recently, Tr-based antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan, have emerged as a new class of anti-HER2 therapies by combining targeted antibodies with cytotoxic agents via linkers... Our patented single protein encapsulation (SPE) platform, allowing encapsulation of small-molecule drugs by a single protein (albumins or globulins) without artificial nanoparticles and chemical modifications to drugs and proteins, has achieved great success in development of 2 drug products, SPEDOX-6 under clinical trial (NCT0764018) and SPESN38-8 (IND #: 164346) under IND-enabling study based on albumin, which have prompted us to utilize antibody, such as Tr, to encapsulate cytotoxic payload, like actinomycin D (ACT), forming antibody encapsulated drugs (AEDs)...In vivo anticancer efficacy of Tr-ACT2 at 1 mg/kg vs irinotecan at 50 mg/kg using A549 mouse model has been evaluated, showing that Tr-ACT2 was significantly more effective in suppressing..."

Single protein encapsulated SN38: Extremely effective anticancer drug with low toxicity (AACR 2026) - "At present, only prodrug approach on SN38 has resulted in 2 types of therapeutics approved by the FDA, irinotecan/ONIVYDE and Trodelvy...Therefore, novel approaches are urgently needed for effectively delivering SN38. Our patented single protein encapsulation (SPE) platform, allowing encapsulation of small-molecule drugs by a single protein (albumins or globulins) without artificial nanoparticles and chemical modifications to drugs and proteins, has made the first drug product, SPEDOX-6 into human phase IB/IIA clinical trial (NCT0764018)... SPESN38 complexes provide a novel water soluble SN38 formulation. SPESN38‑5 and SPESN38‑8 demonstrate better PK values, lower toxicity and superior antitumor efficacy in mouse models, compared with irinotecan, DOX and Doxil. FDA has green-lighted SPESN38-8 (IND #: 164346) for clinical development."

Antibody encapsulated drug: Tr-ACT2 for targeted treatments of various cancers (AACR 2026) - "Trastuzumab (Tr) has demonstrated efficacy in treatment of HER2+ breast cancer and advanced gastric cancer. Recently, Tr-based antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), Kadecyla and Enhertu, have emerged as a new class of anti-HER2 therapies by combining targeted antibodies with cytotoxic agents via linkers...Therefore, smarter and more efficient designs are urgently needed. Our patented single protein encapsulation (SPE) platform, allowing encapsulation of small-molecule drugs by a single protein (albumins or globulins) without artificial nanoparticles and chemical modifications to drugs and proteins, has achieved great success in development of 2 drug products, SPEDOX-6 under human clinical trial (NCT0764018) and SPESN38-8 (IND #: 164346) under IND-enabling study based on albumin, which have prompted us to utilize antibody, such as Tr to encapsulate cytotoxic payload, actinomycin D (ACT, RNA polymerase inhibitor), forming antibody encapsulated drugs (AEDs)... We have developed..."
