Ocean Biomedical Announces Newly Published Findings Demonstrating Ability to Restore Treatment Sensitivity to AstraZeneca’s Leading Lung Cancer Drug After Resistance Has Formed, and Enhanced Tumor Suppression in EGFR-Mutation Lung Cancers

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, October 3, 2023

Providence, RI, Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocean Biomedical, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCEA) announced today that its cancer-targeting immunotherapy antibody candidate has demonstrated effective tumor reduction against an aggressive subset of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations. These research findings, which may be the most important Ocean Biomedical has announced to date, generated by Ocean’s Scientific Co-founder Dr. Jack A. Elias and colleagues from Yale University and Brown University, and first published as a preprint last week in bioRxiv, are the first to uncover the role of Chitinase 3-like-1 (CHI3L1) in the pathogenesis of EGFR-mutant cancers, with potential applications not just in NSCLC, but in all EGFR-mutant cancers, including glioblastoma and colon cancer.

Key Points:

Additionally, the findings demonstrate a stunning ability to restore therapeutic sensitivity to current tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies after resistance sets in, including the third-generation TKI, Osimertinib (marketed as Tagrisso by AstraZeneca).
In 2022, AstraZeneca’s top pharmaceutical product by revenue was Tagrisso, a medication used in the treatment of non-small-cell lung carcinomas.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths globally, accounting for 85% of all lung cancers.
The EGFR-mutant lung cancer is found in 30%-50% of NSCLC patients with Asian heritage and 10%-20% of patients with Caucasian backgrounds.
