SEATTLE, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Arbele, a leading innovator in biopharmaceutical & biotechnology focused on targeting cadherin-17 (CDH17), is pleased to announce strategic collaborations in precision oncology using artificial intelligence (AI) to advance targeted immunotherapeutics of bispecific T-cell engagers (TCEs) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). These partnerships, aimed at advancing the quantification and prognostic prediction of CDH17 expression in tumor tissue and the surrounding tumor immune microenvironment, are expected to accelerate the development of precise companion diagnostics and effective clinical trials for the treatment of advanced cancer patients.
Collaboration with BioAI: Development of IHC-Based Quantification Algorithm
Arbele enters a strategic alliance with BioAI Health to develop a prototype of an immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based quantification algorithm. Leveraging the PredictX platform to develop AI-based models using Arbele’s clinical trial data on colorectal cancer (CRC) biomarker screening, we join force to establish a gold standard companion diagnostic test for anti-CDH17 therapies for patient selection and prediction of clinical outcomes.
"By partnering with Arbele, we are excited to apply our novel AI platform and expertise to accelerate the development of innovative treatment options for gastrointestinal cancers," said Thomas Colarusso, CEO of BioAI. "This partnership underscores our commitment to revolutionizing personalized medicine through cutting-edge machine learning."
"BioAI’s machine learning capabilities offer a transformative approach to biomarker identification and patient stratification through predicting CDH17 expression and its spatial interaction with immune cells in tumor microenvironment," said Dr John Luk, CEO of Arbele. "This collaboration is a critical step in guiding us the uses of the right treatment modalities and/or therapeutic regimens, thereby improving outcomes for patients with high mortality cancers."
Collaboration with Chime Biologics: Accelerated CMC Process Development of novel ADC and TCE
Arbele has entered a strategic alliance with Chime Biologics to accelerate chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) process development of the novel designs of ADCs and TCEs. The partnership supports multiple pipelines of about 10 first-in-class and best-in-class immunotherapeutics, including monoclonal, bispecific/biparatopic and TriAx antibodies within the coming 3 years. The collaboration will ensure Arbele continues to have at least 1-2 new molecular entities (NMEs) successfully filing for investigational new drug (IND) application and entering clinical studies in the next 5 years without any technical and supply-chain interruptions. The first deliverable will be anti-CDH17 ADC (ARB102A), for IND submission in early 2025.
"Chime Biologics has partnered Arbele for several years, with our advanced biologics development supporting key milestones such as previous IND filings for multinational clinical trials," said Dr. Jimmy Wei, President of Chime Biologics. "We adopt the Quality-by-Design (QbD) strategy for process development to yield optimal outcomes cost-effectively, delivering innovative immunotherapeutics to enhance the global accessibility of these treatments."
