• The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to ALE.P02, an anti-Claudin-1 (CLDN1) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), for CLDN1-positive squamous solid tumors.
• ALE.P02, a first-in-class ADC, targets the CLDN1 epitope on cancer cells and has shown promise in preclinical studies, demonstrating complete tumor regression in xenograft models.
• A first-in-human phase 1/2 trial is set to begin in Q1 2025, evaluating ALE.P02 in patients with CLDN1-positive squamous solid tumors, following the FDA's IND clearance in October 2024.
