We recently attended #IGCS2024! This was a great opportunity to meet with industry peers and clinicians to further discussions and exchange insights around ovarian, endometrial, and cervical #Cancers. At Zymeworks, we continue to expand our global connections and work towards improving the lives of those with cancer and other serious diseases. #OvarianCancer #EndometrialCancer #CervicalCancer #CancerResearch #Pharma #Biotech

About us
Zymeworks is a global clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel, multifunctional biotherapeutics. Zymeworks’ mission is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people impacted by difficult-to-treat cancers and other diseases. The Company’s complementary therapeutic platforms and fully integrated drug development engine provide the flexibility and compatibility to precisely engineer and develop highly differentiated antibody-based therapeutic candidates. Zymeworks engineered and developed zanidatamab, a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody using the Company’s proprietary Azymetric™ technology. Zymeworks has entered into separate agreements with BeiGene, Ltd. (BeiGene) and Jazz Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited (Jazz), granting each exclusive rights to develop and commercialize zanidatamab in different territories. Zanidatamab is currently being evaluated in multiple global clinical trials as a potential best-in-class treatment for patients with HER2-expressing cancers. A Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking accelerated approval for zanidatamab as a treatment for previously-treated, unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HER2-positive biliary tract cancer (BTC) has been accepted and granted Priority Review. A BLA has also been accepted for review by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China. If approved, zanidatamab would be the first HER2-targeted treatment specifically approved for BTC in the U.S. and China. Zymeworks is advancing a robust pipeline of wholly-owned product candidates based on its experience and capabilities in both antibody-drug conjugates and multispecific antibodies. Phase 1 studies for ZW171 and ZW191 are now actively recruiting at sites worldwide. Additionally, Zymeworks’ therapeutic platforms have been further leveraged through strategic partnerships.

We're proud to share a recent publication in Cancer Discovery (AACR Journals): "The Journey of Antibody–Drug Conjugates: Lessons Learned from 40 Years of Development" by Raffaele Colombo, Jamie Rich, Paolo Tarantino, Patricia LoRusso, and Elisabeth (Liesbeth) de Vries. This comprehensive review traces the evolution of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), highlighting key milestones and insights from four decades of research. Inspired by discussions at last year's AACR-NCI-EORTC triple meeting, it offers valuable perspective on ADC development. We're excited to contribute to the scientific community's understanding of ADCs and their therapeutic potential.
