PARIS, FRANCE, 11 July 2024 - Ipsen (Euronext: IPN; ADR: IPSEY) and Foreseen Biotechnology (Foreseen) today announced an exclusive global licensing agreement for FS001, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with first-in-class potential. FS001 targets a novel tumor-associated antigen that is overexpressed in many solid tumors and plays a critical role in tumor proliferation and metastasis. This novel tumor antigen was identified using Foreseen’s high throughput, integrated translational proteomics, and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered screening platforms, to analyze their vast collection of well-characterized clinical tumor samples. FS001 utilized an innovative, stable and cleavable linker coupled to a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor. Preclinical efficacy of FS001 was demonstrated in multi-drug resistant cancer models. The agreement gives Ipsen exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize FS001.
