(SeaPRwire) – BEIJING, April 21, 2026 — InnoCare Pharma (HKEX: 9969; SSE: 688428) unveiled preclinical findings for its novel B7-H3 targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), ICP-B794, at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.
The data was shared via a poster presentation (Abstract Code: LB355) at the meeting. ICP-B794 is an ADC targeting B7-H3 that features a novel linker-payload configuration. In preclinical tumor models, it showed strong anti-tumor efficacy and a substantially wider safety margin than comparable therapies. A Phase I clinical trial to determine the appropriate dosage is currently in progress.
ADCs are often described as “biological missiles” for their precision in targeting cancer cells. Developed from InnoCare’s proprietary ADC platform, ICP-B794 utilizes an irreversible connector, a highly hydrophilic linker, and a novel, potent payload. This combination leads to markedly improved tumor-killing capabilities, along with greater stability and safety.
The candidate demonstrated excellent stability in its drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) and minimal payload release in human plasma. In in vitro cellular tests, ICP-B794’s cell-killing activity was significantly greater than that of similar drugs. It also showed superior in vivo effectiveness compared to other B7-H3 ADCs, producing therapeutic results even at low doses. A key finding is its potential to overcome resistance associated with other B7-H3 targeted ADCs.
Safety assessments yielded highly positive results from the GLP toxicology study, indicating a safety window greater than 200-fold.
