Tubulis announced today that Fierce Biotech has named the
company as one of 2024’s “Fierce 15” biotechnology companies. The
annual special report features the most innovative and promising
biotechnology companies in the industry.
“Being selected for this prestigious industry award is an
important recognition of our leadership position in the ADC space
as well as the potential of our unique approach to ADC development.
It also is a great reward for all the hard work our team has been
putting into driving innovation and realizing our mission of
improving the outcomes for cancer patients. I specifically would
like to thank every team member and our Board for their
contributions,” said Dominik Schumacher, CEO at Tubulis. “2024 is a
pivotal year for us and we are committed to further building on
this momentum to push the boundaries of ADCs and unlock their full
therapeutic potential.”
Tubulis was established with the goal of maximizing the overall
performance of ADCs by addressing the main bottlenecks in the field
through innovation in all aspects of ADC development. The company
has created a unique suite of technologies that combine a diverse
range of targeting molecules, innovative payloads, and proprietary
conjugation technologies to deliver revolutionary ADCs with
superior biophysical properties and durable anti-tumor effects.
Based on differentiated preclinical results recently presented at
AACR and backed by an upsized €128 million Series B2 financing in
March, the company is now translating the durable efficacy of its
lead candidates, TUB-030 and TUB-040, into the clinic. In June, the
first patient was dosed with TUB-040 in a Phase I/IIa study
(NAPISTAR 1-01, NCT06303505) to investigate its safety,
pharmacokinetics and efficacy in patients with platinum-resistant
high-grade ovarian cancer (PROC) and relapsed/refractory
adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who have
exhausted other available treatment options. Shortly afterwards,
the candidate was granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of patients with
PROC.
“For the past 22 years, we have evaluated hundreds of companies
for inclusion in the 'Fierce 15' special report. Our selection
process considers various factors, including technological
robustness, strategic partnerships, venture support and market
positioning,” said Ayla Ellison, Editor-in-Chief, Fierce Life
Sciences and Healthcare. “This report highlights innovation and
creativity amid intense competition.”
About Tubulis
Tubulis’ suite of proprietary platform technologies generates
uniquely matched antibody-drug conjugates with superior biophysical
properties for treating solid tumors. By demonstrating durable
on-tumor delivery of the payload and long-lasting anti-tumor
activity, we have reached the clinic with our first program,
TUB-040, in ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer. The second
candidate from our growing pipeline, TUB-030, is set to follow in
the near-term. We will solidify our leadership position by
continuing to innovate on all aspects of ADC design to expand their
therapeutic potential for our pipeline, our partners and for
patients. Visit www.tubulis.com or follow us on LinkedIn.
