WBMP-4 / Welt Bio-Molecular Pharma - LARVOL DELTA

The development of directly active monoclonal antibodies: monotherapies with combined antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxic and tyrosine kinase inhibitory effects (SITC 2025) - "WBMP-4's global kinase inhibition encompasses the effects of approved inhibitor drugs (i.e. BTK, PI3K, and Bcl-2 inhibitors), and should be more tumor-restrictive; WBMP-4 only affects IgM-expressing B-cells, sparing healthy B-cells that express other classes of Ig. This tumor specificity and potent inhibitory effects make WBMP-4 a promising clinical candidate."

A novel drug discovery platform identifies epitopes on driver receptors that can be targeted to induce widespread kinase inhibition and cancer cell death (AACR 2025) - "WBMP-4's global kinase inhibition encompasses the effects of approved kinase inhibitor drugs (i.e. BTK, PI3K, and Bcl-2 inhibitors), and is designed to be more tumor-restrictive; WBMP-4 only affects IgM-expressing B-cells, sparing healthy B-cells that express other classes of Ig (i.e. IgG, IgA, IgD, or IgE). This tumor specificity and potent inhibitory effects make WBMP-4 a promising clinical candidate."

Membrane protein expression and activity following inhibition of B-cell receptor-initiated signaling by WBMP-4, a therapeutic antibody for leukemia/lymphoma (AACR 2024) - "This work will be considered in the context of our ongoing research on WBMP-4's inhibition of intracellular signaling pathways, and the resulting biologic effects, and will contribute to the continued development of WBMP-4 by providing an understanding of the effects achieved (cell growth inhibition, cell differentiation, apoptosis) at different dosages and if these effects are maintained over time. As a novel, efficacious, and low toxicity treatment strategy for B-cell leukemia and lymphoma, WBMP-4 has significant clinical potential."

Anti-membrane IgM monoclonal antibody, WBMP-4, induces apoptosis in B-cell malignancies by modulation of kinase expression and phosphorylation (AACR 2023) - "These data support the concept that WBMP-4 binds an epitope on mIgM that is critical to its signal transduction to CD79a/b.Due to WBMP-4’s specific targeting of IgM-expressing B-cells, we expect that the toxicities associated with approved therapies upon their interaction with non-lymphatic tissue (e.g. bleeding, infection, cytopenia, arrhythmia, secondary malignancies) will be avoided. With potent anti-tumor activity and expected reduced toxicities, WBMP-4 is a compelling candidate for clinical development."
