Sudocetaxel zendusortide is an investigational, first-in-class peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) that targets the sortilin receptor (SORT1) and expedites the internalization and delivery of the cytotoxic payload (docetaxel) directly into cancer cells.

Key Points: 
  • Sudocetaxel zendusortide is an investigational, first-in-class peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) that targets the sortilin receptor (SORT1) and expedites the internalization and delivery of the cytotoxic payload (docetaxel) directly into cancer cells.
  • The article, “Sudocetaxel Zendusortide (TH1902) triggers the cGAS/STING pathway and potentiates anti-PD-L1 immune-mediated tumor cell killing” appears in the “Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy” section of the February (Volume 15) issue of the journal.
  • Additionally, combining sudocetaxel zendusortide with an anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor led to increases in tumor growth inhibition and median animal survival.
  • This realization supports the rationale for further exploration of the combination of sudocetaxel zendusortide with immunotherapy.”
