SUZHOU, China, March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcenta Holding Limited ("Transcenta") (HKEX: 06628), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company with fully-integrated capabilities in discovery, research, development and manufacturing of antibody-based therapeutics, today announces that two preclinical studies in relation to TST003, a First-in-Class mAb Targeting GREMLIN-1, and TST010, an ADCC enhanced anti-CD25 mAb will be presented as posters at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2023. This year's meeting will be held from April 14-19, 2023, in Orlando, Florida, USA.
The AACR Annual Meeting is the focal point of the cancer research community, where scientists, clinicians, other health care professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates gather to share the latest advances in cancer science and medicine from institutions all over the world.
A brief summary of the presentations is as follows:

Session Date and Time: Sunday Apr 16, 2023 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM (EDT)
Title: ADCC enhanced anti-CD25 mAb (TST010) exhibited potent anti-tumor activity by depleting Treg cells and increasing CD8+T/Treg ratio in preclinical tumor models
Abstract#: 1546
Session Category: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics
Session Title: Antibody Drug Conjugates
Session Time: Monday Apr 17, 2023 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM (EDT)
About TST003
TST003 is a high affinity monoclonal antibody targeting Gremlin1, a member of the TGF-β superfamily. Gremlin1 protein is a highly conserved secreted protein and has shown to play important roles during embryonic development and promote epithelial mesenchymal transition. Gremlin1 is upregulated in multiple solid tumors. TST003 has demonstrated promising single agent and combination activities in patient-derived xenograft tumor models from the difficult-to-treat solid tumors resistant to checkpoint inhibitors including castration resistant prostate cancer and microsatellite stable colorectal cancer.
About TST010
Using immune tolerance breaking antibody platform, Transcenta generated a humanized IgG1 subtype anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody with reduced fucose (TST010). TST010 binds to human CD25 with high affinity and selectivity, but does not block IL-2 binding to CD25. Non-blocking activity to IL-2 signaling on human PBMC has been further confirmed by the phosphorylation of STAT5. By reducing fucosylation during cell culture process, TST010 mAb gains the enhanced ADCC activity in vitro and anti-tumor activity by depleting Treg cells and increasing CD8+T/Treg ratio in preclinical tumor models.
