The webinar will feature a presentation from medical expert David Spigel, MD, of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute, who will discuss Molecular Templates’ program, MT-6402 (targeting PD-L1), and the implications of the Phase 1 data as it relates to treating patients with a variety of PD-L1-expressing solid tumors. MT-6402 is the first of the Company’s 3rd generation ETBs to enter the clinic. It is designed to induce potent anti-tumor effects via PD-L1 targeting through mechanisms including Shiga-like Toxin A ribosomal inactivation and CMV antigen-seeding technology, both of which may overcome the limitations of approved checkpoint inhibitors.
The Molecular Templates’ management team will provide a brief company update.
A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentations. To register for the event, please click here.
