The only clinical-stage antibody-drug conjugate in Sanofi’s pipeline has flunked a Phase III study, pushing the French drugmaker to wind down the entire development program.
At an interim analysis, the ADC failed to meet the dual primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival compared to docetaxel in second-line metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. All patients in the trial have tumors that express high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5), which the drug, tusamitamab ravtansine, is directed against.
