MacroGenics has a second shot at ADAM9 in its pipeline.
MacroGenicscut short its call on ADAM9DAM family. The ADAM9-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) IMGC936 fell short of safety and efficacy expectations in solid tumors, prompting AbbVie and its equal partner MacroGenics to walk away from the candidate.
AbbVieenics worked with ImmunoGen, now part of AbbVie ADAM9-targeted0.1 billion deal, to advance thIMGC936o a phase 1 readout.
