    Six posters highlight continued progress across antibody-drug conjugate and T cell engager platforms

    Novel T cell engager ZW209 demonstrates durable activity in small cell lung cancer; IND submission expected in 1H-2026

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zymeworks Inc. (NASDAQ:ZYME), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a diverse pipeline of novel, multifunctional biotherapeutics to improve the standard of care for difficult-to-treat diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune disease, today announced the presentation of six posters with new preclinical data from its preclinical, development-stage, and clinical programs at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting being held April 25-30, 2025 in Chicago, IL.

    "The breadth of data shared at AACR highlights the strength of our oncology portfolio across antibody-drug conjugates and T cell engagers, and demonstrates the novel approaches we employ using each modality," said Paul Moore, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Zymeworks. "We're particularly excited to share data on ZW209, the latest of our oncology nominated IND programs which has demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity in preclinical small cell lung cancer models by integrating CD28 co-stimulation into a trispecific T cell engager. We look forward to advancing ZW209 with an IND submission anticipated in the first half of 2026, while also progressing the differentiated programs in our wholly-owned pipeline."

    Presentation Highlights

    T cell Engagers (TCE):

    ZW171, a differentiated 2+1 T cell-engaging bispecific antibody with antitumor activity in a range of mesothelin expressing cancers

    Abstract: 3503

    Session Category: Immunology

    Session Title: T Cell Engagers

    ZW171 is a mesothelin (MSLN)-targeting TCE currently in a global Phase 1 clinical study (NCT06523803) in a range of difficult-to-treat, MSLN-positive tumor models including ovarian, pancreatic, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

    Key findings include:

    • ZW171 demonstrates cytolytic activity across a range of MSLN expressing tumor types including lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancers with anti-tumor activity correlating with MSLN cell surface expression and not related to soluble MSLN levels.
    • ZW171 exhibits strong anti-tumor activity in patient derived xenograft (PDX) models of NSCLC and pancreatic cancer, and in ex-vivo patient-derived ovarian cancer organoids with endogenous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL).
    • Relative to other MSLN targeted T cell engagers in development, ZW171 exhibits reduced T cell binding but enhanced cytolytic activity.
    • These data reinforce the differentiated profile of ZW171 and demonstrate its enhanced anti-tumor activity compared to other MSLN-targeting bispecifics.



    ZW209, a DLL3 targeted trispecific T cell engager with integrated CD28 co-stimulation, demonstrates safety and potent preclinical efficacy in models of small cell lung cancer

    Abstract: 7318

    Session Category: Immunology

    Session Title: T Cell Engagers and Novel Antibody-Based Therapies

    Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is a cell surface protein overexpressed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other neuroendocrine carcinomas that has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for these aggressive and difficult-to-treat malignancies1,2. Clinical activity of bispecific TCEs may be limited by low T cell infiltration and poor T cell function, highlighting an opportunity to improve the rate and depth of response3. ZW209, a DLL3-targeting trispecific TCE, is designed to optimally co-engage CD3 and CD28 on T cells, and was engineered using the Company's TriTCE Co-Stim platform in combination with its Azymetric™ and EFECT™ technologies.

    Key findings include:

    • ZW209 was designed for optimal T cell binding and enhanced target-dependent T cell activation that translates to increased antitumor activity compared to traditional bispecific T cell engagers.
    • Relative to other DLL3 targeted T cell engagers in development, ZW209 exhibits enhanced and prolonged cytotoxicity over repeated tumor cell challenges and at low effector to target cell ratios.  These data reinforce the potential of ZW209 to increase the depth and durability of responses in DLL3-expressing tumors by increasing T cell responses, which may translate to improved clinical outcomes.
    • In a non-human primate (NHP) study, ZW209 demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety following repeat dosing.



    Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs):

    ZW327, a novel Ly6E-targeting antibody-drug conjugate bearing a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor payload

    Abstract: 2874

    Session Category: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics

    Session Title: Antibody-Based Cancer Therapeutics 2

    ZW327 is a potential first-in-class ADC targeting Ly6E, an antigen overexpressed in numerous tumor types including breast, lung, and digestive tract cancers. Utilization of a superior Ly6E binding and internalizing antibody with a proprietary topoisomerase 1 inhibitor payload4, ZD06519, reinforces the highly differentiated profile of ZW327, with pronounced in vitro cytotoxicity against a panel of tumor cell line models.

    Key findings include:

    • ZW327 demonstrated robust anti-tumor activity in low, mid, and high Ly6E-expressing cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) and PDX models. ZW327 maintains potential in diverse indications including NSCLC, triple-negative breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and gastrointestinal cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
    • Across various tumor types, ZW327 exhibited favorable PK and tolerability in NHP at exposure levels above those projected to be efficacious.
    • This promising preclinical activity highlights the potential to ZW327 as an innovative therapeutic option in Ly6E-expressing cancers.5



    Design and development of biparatopic antibody-drug conjugates against protein tyrosine kinase 7

    Abstract: 1565

    Session Category: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics

    Session Title: Antibody-Based Cancer Therapeutics 1

    Protein Tyrosine Kinase 7 (PTK7) over expression across multiple tumor types including breast, digestive tract, and lung cancers, makes it an attractive target for ADCs. To enable optimal targeting, and overcome limitations of prior PTK7 ADCs, Zymeworks identified a lead biparatopic antibody displaying improved binding and receptor-mediated internalization relative to that achieved with monospecific PTK7 antibodies. This lead PTK7 biparatopic antibody was evaluated as an ADC utilizing Zymeworks' proprietary topoisomerase 1 inhibitor (TOPO1i) payload, ZD06519.

    Key findings include:

    • Enhanced antibody internalization of a biparatopic ADC allows for increased delivery of cytotoxic payload.
    • This first-in-class biparatopic TOPO1i PTK7 ADC demonstrated activity in breast and lung cancer models, reinforcing its potential improvement over cofetuzumab pelidotin, a prior clinical stage PTK7 ADC.
    • This biparatopic TOPO1i PTK7 ADC was found to be well-tolerated in NHP at a dose of up to 60 mg/kg.



    Additionally, Zymeworks scientists co-authored two poster presentations focused on leveraging technologies that support the design and characterizations of ADCs, including high-throughput functional screening in 3D tumor models and in vitro assays to assess potential hematologic toxicity:

    High throughput quantitative molecular characterization of cytotoxic antibody-drug conjugates in spheroid models for improved functional characterization, screening and candidate selection

    Abstract: 1230

    Session Category: Tumor Biology

    Session Title: 3D Models and Bioprinting

    There is a need for improved in vitro models that better recapitulate in vivo tumor tissue complexity to aid in the screening and evaluation of novel ADCs during preclinical development. Zymeworks has developed in vitro 3D models from cancer cell lines yielding spheroids in a rapid, robust and uniform manner. Using these spheroid models, the Company has developed cell-based assays to functionally evaluate the cytotoxic activity of ADCs in vitro. Zymeworks utilized the nCounter® ADC Development Panel (nCounter), a specialized gene expression tool for molecular characterization of biological function with customizable gene content, to further characterize ADC activity in 3D cell line models.

    Key findings include:

    • nCounter is a robust and reliable platform to assess the gene expression of RNA samples especially using poor quality, fragmented FFPE derived samples, DV200 < 30% demonstrates its robustness and ease of use.
    • nCounter demonstrated consistent genetic changes between cell culture methods (spheroids vs. monolayer), and the type of ADC treatment.
    • These results may allow for further improvement of ADC pipeline development with a focus on functional pathway evaluation.



    In vitro assays for prediction of ADC hematological toxicity: contribution of antibody, linker, and payload

    Abstract: 5482

    Session Category: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics

    Session Title: Drug Discovery Assay Technologies

    Hematological toxicities are commonly associated with many ADCs and may arise from the direct killing of hematopoietic cells by the ADC itself or indirectly from payload released elsewhere in the body. Development of in vitro assays capable of predicting clinical findings could improve ADC development and guide the selection of optimal linkers and payloads. 

    Key findings include:

    • Clinical toxicity profile prediction largely depends on payload class and key ADC attributes. The poor translation of preclinical findings to predict ADC clinical toxicities has led to the empirical testing of ADC designs in patients.
    • Colony forming cell (CFC) assays using primary bone marrow cells can be used to evaluate toxicities of both ADCs and their payloads on blood progenitor cell lineages.
    • Comparison of ADC clinical toxicities and in vitro CFC assay results indicates that the CFC assay can effectively recapitulate specific clinical observations, making it a valuable screening tool for ADCs.
    • The prediction of clinical toxicity profiles for ADCs remains a complex challenge due to the intricate ADC disposition in humans.
