The ongoing research and development trajectory of Delta Like Ligand 3 (DLL3) targeted therapies is a dynamic landscape, shaped by pioneering endeavors, challenges, and the relentless pursuit of transformative solutions in the realm of cancer treatment. Stemcentrx’s Rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T) stands as a pivotal chapter in this narrative, being the first DLL3 targeted therapy. Despite its discontinuation following unfavorable clinical trial results in later phase trials, Rova-T has played a catalytic role, marking a stride forward in the development of a class of drugs against this novel target.
The influence of Rova-T persists as it remains a key element in the formulation of various antibody-drug conjugates. These conjugates, characterized by their inclusion of diverse payloads such as radionuclides, photoabsorbers, and photosensitizers, in additional to the conventional chemotherapy drugs, are presently undergoing meticulous evaluation in preclinical studies. This underscores the adaptability and promise inherent in DLL3-targeted therapies, demonstrating their potential to introduce a broad spectrum of treatment modalities in the field of cancer care. The ongoing scrutiny of these conjugates not only highlights their versatility but also suggests a paradigm shift towards more diversified and innovative approaches in the expansive landscape of cancer therapeutics.
In the evolving landscape of DLL3 targeted therapies, current candidates in clinical trials extend beyond Rova-T conjugates, encompassing bispecific and trispecific antibodies, as well as innovative cell therapies such as CAR-T and CAR-NK cell therapies. Leading the charge is Amgen’s Tarlatamab, which has progressed to phase 3 trials, marking a milestone and establishing a benchmark for DLL3 targeted therapeutic approaches. Having earned orphan drug designation in 2018 for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and subsequent statuses such as breakthrough therapy designation in October 2023, as well as priority review designation in December 2023, Tarlatamab holds the transformative potential of becoming the first FDA-approved DLL3-targeted therapy. With FDA decision pending and a Target Action Date set for June 12, 2024, Tarlatamab’s journey signifies a significant stride towards redefining the landscape of DLL3-targeted therapies in oncology.
Prominent pharmaceutical companies, including Legend Biotech, Phanes Therapeutics, Harpoon Therapeutics, and Amgen, underscore the significant interest and potential of DLL3 as a therapeutic cancer target. The incorporation of advanced technology platforms to develop DLL3-targeted therapies is another defining trend in the industry. Companies like Novartis, Chugai Pharmaceutical, and MediLink Therapeutics are leveraging their proprietary platforms, emphasizing the intersection of technological innovation and targeted therapeutics. These platforms not only expedite drug discovery but also enhance the precision and efficacy of DLL3 targeted therapies, showcasing the transformative potential of cutting edge technologies in oncology research.
Moreover, the collaborative essence of the field is becoming increasingly evident through strategic alliances and licensing agreements. This is exemplified by established partnerships like the ongoing collaboration between Boehringer Ingelheim and Oxford BioTherapeutics, and emerging collaborations such as the one between Novartis and Legend, as well as MediLink Therapeutics and Zai Lab. These cooperative ventures underscore the industry’s commitment to working together, pooling resources, and leveraging collective expertise to advance the development of DLL3 targeted therapies.
Investments in the DLL3 targeted therapeutic sector are increasing, indicating a greater recognition of its promising potential. Notably, Abdera Therapeutics announced a significant success, securing a sizable US$142 million in combined Series A and B financing in April 2023. Abdera is using its ROVEr™ antibody engineering platform to develop precise radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment. Their flagship candidate, ABD-147, is an excellent example of a DLL3 targeted radiopharmaceutical created primarily for small cell lung cancer. This success story demonstrates the growing interest and financial backing for the emerging field of DLL3 targeted treatments.
As companies navigate this burgeoning landscape, the opportunities are vast. From exploring diverse therapeutic modalities to capitalizing on technological advancements, companies can tap into the potential of DLL3-targeted therapies to address unmet medical needs. Strategic collaborations, innovative licensing agreements, and leveraging advanced platforms can propel companies towards pioneering solutions, ensuring a dynamic and impactful presence in the evolving field of cancer therapeutics. As DLL3-targeted therapies continue to redefine the boundaries of cancer treatment, the convergence of science, technology, and strategic partnerships holds the key to unlocking unprecedented opportunities for companies in this transformative journey.
