ABP-102/CT-P72: a novel HER2 x CD3 T cell engager with selective activity for HER2-overexpressing tumors and reduced activity on cells with normal HER2 expression levels (AACR 2025) - "Bispecific antibody T cell engagers (TCEs) have unrealized potential as novel treatments for solid tumors, with notable past successes in hematological malignancies and the encouraging recent FDA approval of tarlatamab for a solid tumor indication...In the HER2-overexpressing models, ABP-102/CT-P72 displayed up to a two-fold increased tumor growth inhibition compared to a biosimilar of runimotamab, a HER2 x CD3 TCE...are co-developing ABP-102, which CELLTRION, INC. has designated under the project code name CT-P72."

ABIPRO Presents First Preclinical Data on Dual Immunotherapy at AACR [Google translation] (BioTimes) - "ABPRO Holdings, the US affiliate of ABPRO Bio, announced on the 25th that it will participate in the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR, Annual Meeting 2025) to be held in Chicago, Illinois, USA from the 25th and disclose the preclinical data of 'AB-102/CT-P72' for the first time....'AB-102/CT-P72' is indicated for refractory HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer. The company expects that 'AB-102/CT-P72' can be an alternative to existing treatments because it has superior safety compared to existing HER2-targeting dual antibodies in terms of tumor selectivity, tumor growth inhibition, cytokine secretion reduction, and drug tolerability."

Abpro and Celltrion Unveil Preclinical Data for ABP-102/CT-P72 at AACR 2025, Showcasing Potential Best-in-Class HER2 x CD3 T-Cell Engager (GlobeNewswire) - "Key Findings: Highly Selective Tumor Killing: ABP-102/CT-P72 achieves potent cytotoxicity in HER2-overexpressing breast and gastric cancer models while significantly reducing activity against HER2-low cells, addressing a key limitation of prior HER2-targeted T-cell engagers; Enhanced Tumor Growth Inhibition: In vivo studies showed ABP-102/CT-P72 had up to a two-fold increase in tumor suppression compared to a biosimilar of runimotamab, a benchmark HER2 x CD3 bispecific antibody; Reduced Cytokine Release: Engineered for functionally monovalent CD3 binding, ABP-102/CT-P72 minimizes cytokine-related toxicities, as demonstrated by reduced cytokine release in HER2-low cell models while maintaining potent cytotoxicity in HER2-high models; Improved Tolerability: Dose escalation studies in cynomolgus monkeys confirmed that ABP-102/CT-P72 was well tolerated....planned to start in the first half of 2026."
