About Colorectal Cancer with Minimal Residual Disease
An estimated 20,000 patients annually in the US have CRC MRD after definitive therapy including curative intent surgery with or without neo-adjuvant and/or adjuvant therapies. CRC MRD is defined as a patient with positive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA+) and without radiographic evidence of disease. These patients are at a much higher risk to relapse and develop metastasis to other organs, primarily the liver. Currently there are no approved therapies for CRC MRD and standard of care is simply observation.
About AMB-066
AMB-066 uses a potent monoclonal antibody targeting the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) to treat patients with colorectal cancer with minimal residual disease (CRC MRD). The antibody has been tested in ~200 patients and healthy subjects across five clinical trials for other indications via intravenous, intra-articular, and subcutaneous injections, and has been shown to be generally safe and well tolerated in all studies.
