The Challenges of Precision Oncological
Medicine 1. Over 800 anti-cancer drugs are
in clinical developing which
target “the Hallmark of Cancer”
2. Target population has to be
identified for specific drug.
3. Biopsy sample is the golden
standard and major source of all
the pathology sample. But it’s
hard to get, not even mention to
follow up.
4. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC)
had been regarded as one of the
reliable sample sources for the
personalized diagnosis and
therapy. Hanahan and Weinberg; Cell 2011; 144:1-29

Significant Unmet Need for New HER2 Drugs
• High proportions of HER2(+) BC patients do not respond:
• Trastuzumab: 20-50% non-responders in adjuvant setting
• Trastuzumab : 70% non-responders as monotherapy
• T-DM1 ~35% non-responders
• Most responders eventually progress, presumably some due to
acquired resistance.
• Trastuzumab dosen’t have a good performance in Patients with
low HER2 expression

Model: CT26 was transfected to express human EpCAM, which was called CT26-EpCAM. The CT26-EpCAM was injected i.p.
into Balb/c mice to form syngeneic model. With CT26-EpCAM as the tumor cells, M706 was given by i.p. to mediate the mouse
immune cells to kill tumor cells. M706 was a mimetic bsAb which binds to EpCAM antigen in one side and mouse CD3 in the other
side.
