Characterizing and targeting CD44v6+ cells in liver carcinoma (EASL-ILC 2022) - "With this study, we aim to target CD44v6 in primary human liver cancer cell lines by using an inhibitor, AMC303, and observe the effects of CD44v6 inhibition on proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT... Inhibition of CD44v6 in liver carcinoma cell lines led to a reduction in chemotaxis and migration. In conclusion, CD44v6 appears to be a promising targetable candidate in liver cancer."

First-in-Human, First-in-Class study of the CD44v6 inhibitor AMC303 as monotherapy in patients with advanced epithelial tumors (ESMO 2018) - P1; "AMC303 was demonstrated to be well-tolerated with a favorable PK profile. Part 2 is designed to test anti-tumor activity, including patients with high expression of CD44v6 in specific tumor types."

AMC303 inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in animal models by targeting CD44v6, a co-receptor of multiple oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases (AACR 2019) - "AMC303 inhibits c-MET in vitro in a ligand-dependent fashion and in vivo significantly improved overall survival in an orthotopic pancreatic xenograft mouse tumor model. AMC303 effectively attenuated both primary and metastatic tumor growth by increasing apoptosis, reduction of angiogenesis and vascular normalization. These findings demonstrate the benefit of targeting multiple oncogenic RTK signaling pathways by AMC303."
