1-4 Target

Development of novel bispecific antibodies for cancer therapy targeting the receptor tyrosine kinases ErbB4 and EGFR

Funding period:

01.03.2018 - 28.02.2020

Project description:

The aim is to develop novel human anti-ErbB4 antibodies, which in combination with a humanized anti-EGFR antibody derived from Cetuximab, or as bispecific EGFRxErbB4-targeting antibodies, can be used for the treatment of cancer patients with EGFR- and ErbB4-dependant tumors. At the end of the two-year project, a lead candidate for further preclinical and clinical development as well as information on patient stratification will be available.
