About IMGN853
ImmunoGen created IMGN853 for the treatment of ovarian cancer, NSCLC, and other epithelial malignancies that over-express FOLR1. The compound comprises the Company's highly potent cancer-cell-killing agent, DM4, attached to its M9346A FOLR1-targeting antibody using one of the novel linkers ImmunoGen designed to counter multi-drug resistance. Many cancers develop multi-drug resistance with continued treatment, making the tumors increasingly difficult to kill.
