Zai Lab to Present New Data from Internally Developed, Next-Generation Oncology Candidates at AACR 2025 Annual Meeting
- Poster presentation will highlight the potential of ZL-6201 as an innovative antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of sarcoma and other leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (LRRC15)-positive solid tumors
- Late-breaking poster presentation will summarize data from preclinical evaluation of ZL-1222, a promising next-generation interleukin-12 (IL-12) immunocytokine therapy for the treatment of various cancers
“Aligned with our strategy for our internally developed global oncology pipeline, ZL-6201 and ZL-1222 are promising investigational compounds with the potential to address multiple cancer types, including several that remain challenging to treat with current standard-of-care therapies,” said Rafael G. Amado, M.D., President, Head of Global Research and Development at Zai Lab.
LRRC15 is a type I transmembrane protein and an appealing target for cancer therapy because it is overexpressed in various mesenchymal tumors, such as sarcoma, glioblastoma and melanoma. Zai Lab is evaluating ZL-6201 as a potential first-in-class LRRC15 ADC targeting multiple solid tumors.
Interleukin-12 treatments have demonstrated potential to offer therapeutic benefit across a range of cancer types; however, narrow therapeutic windows and toxicity concerns have limited the benefit of this therapeutic class. Zai Lab is evaluating ZL-1222 as a potential next-generation PD-1-targeted IL-12 immunocytokine for cancer immunotherapy across a variety of indications, potentially combining potent antitumor activity with improved systemic safety.
