Adlai Nortye Secures Supply Deals for Cancer Drug Trial
Biotech firm Adlai Nortye has finalized collaboration agreements with Eli Lilly and Merck to support a Phase 1 clinical trial of its experimental drug, AN4035. The study aims to test the treatment, both as a monotherapy and in tandem with other agents, against specific solid tumor types.
These cancer types, including colorectal, pancreatic, and lung variants, frequently harbor RAS mutations where the CEACAM5 protein is overexpressed. Following the announcement, Adlai Nortye shares climbed 2.9% to $11.20 in premarket trading.
