London, UK, 19 October 2023 – Myricx Bio (‘Myricx’), a UK biotech company focusing on the discovery and development of a completely novel class of payloads for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), is pleased to announce that it has won the award for Best Poster at the 14th Annual #WorldADC conference, San Diego, California, held from October 16-19, 20231.
The poster showcased new data on the preclinical efficacy of Myricx’ proprietary N-Myristoyltransferase inhibitor (#NMTi) payload platform and was selected against a large field judged by experts in the ADC field.
Accepting the award, CEO, Dr Robin Carr said: “World ADC is the preeminent gathering of experts in the ADC field. This award is an endorsement of the huge potential our platform has to create an important new class of ADC medicines.”
The data presented showed complete tumour regressions across a range of solid tumour xenograft models for NMTi-ADCs targeting three clinically validated tumour-associated antigens (B7-H3, TROP2 and HER2), as well as excellent bystander activity, and encouraging preliminary safety findings.
Congratulations to Myricx team and authors on the poster who have contributed to this work: Robin Carr, Josephine Walton, Folake Orafidiya, Nikki D’Arcy, Francesco Falciani, Sarah Spear, Katie Tyson, Iain McNeish, Tim Ritchie, Andy Bell, Ed Tate, and Roberto Solari.
