(NASDAQ:NXTC) and LigaChem Biosciences, Inc. are set to present new clinical data on their novel cancer therapy, LNCB74, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago on June 2, 2025. LNCB74 is a first-in-human, B7-H4 targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 trial for patients with advanced solid tumors, including platinum-resistant ovarian, treatment-refractory breast, endometrial, biliary tract, and squamous non-small cell lung cancers.

The ongoing study is in the dose escalation phase and will also include randomized dose expansion and optimization, with an emphasis on safety and biomarker analysis. B7-H4, the ADC’s target, is highly expressed in several tumor types but limited in normal tissues, making it an appealing candidate for targeted therapy.
According to NextCure, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXTC)’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Udayan Guha, LNCB74 has shown a superior safety profile and potent anti-tumor activity in preclinical models. The poster, abstract TPS3167, will be featured during the “Developmental Therapeutics—Molecularly Targeted Agents and Tumor Biology” session.
