In a detailed interview, Dr. Jingsong Wang, Chairman of Nona Biosciences, delves into the cutting-edge world of Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) technology and its pivotal role in advancing cancer treatment. The conversation spanned Nona Biosciences’ core technologies, strategic collaborations, and the future of cancer therapy.

The Core of Nona Biosciences’ ADC Technology

Dr. Wang began by outlining Nona Biosciences as a global technology platform company that specializes in the biologics area, offering partnership opportunities worldwide. 

Central to their approach is the Harbour Mice® platform, which generates not only fully human monoclonal antibodies in two heavy and two light chains (H2L2) format, but also a novel heavy chain only (HCAb) format,enabling the production of innovative molecules such as monoclonal antibodies, bispecific/multi-specific antibodies, and advancements in the ADC field. 

These tools have positioned Nona to lead in generating, assessing, and integrating antibodies with payloads and linkers – the three critical components of ADC technology.

Strategic Collaborations and Market Impact

Dr. Wang highlighted the significance of their collaborations with industry giants Pfizer, Moderna, and Mythic Therapeutics, emphasizing the strategic importance of these partnerships in advancing cancer treatment and impacting the market. 

Nona’s unique heavy chain antibody was a key factor, with its diverse applications including mRNA-based immunotherapy, which caught the attention of Moderna. This collaboration, started in 2022, aims to tackle the oncology space by combining Nona’s HCAb technology with Moderna’s industry-leading mRNA packaging and delivery systems.

With Pfizer and Mythic Therapeutics, the focus is on leveraging Nona’s antibody discovery technology alongside novel payload and linker technologies to develop next-generation ADC programs. These partnerships not only validate Nona Biosciences’ technological prowess but also underscore the financial significance, with deals potentially worth over $1 billion plus royalties.

Challenges and Opportunities in the ADC Landscape

The ADC field, though still in its nascent stages, is ripe with potential. Dr. Wang discussed the challenges, such as immunogenicity and therapeutic window, and how Nona’s technology, especially the HCAb platform, addresses these by enabling the creation of complex molecules with reduced immunogenicity and enhanced efficacy. 

The opportunity for ADCs in cancer treatment is vast, with Nona’s technology poised to accelerate the development of next-generation ADCs.

The Future of Cancer Treatment

Looking forward, Dr. Wang envisions a future where cancer treatment is more precise, efficacious, and less toxic. 

He predicts an increased integration of biomarker strategies, precision medicine, and novel modalities like mRNA-based therapeutics and CAR-T cells, with ADCs playing a central role.

The future trends include the combination of various therapeutic modalities, with conjugation technology serving as a crucial link, facilitating treatments for previously challenging patient populations.

Conclusion

Dr. Wang’s insights paint a picture of a future where innovative technologies like those developed by Nona Biosciences could significantly impact cancer treatment. The strategic collaborations, the challenges overcome by their technology, and the potential for future innovations all highlight the critical role of ADC technology in advancing cancer therapy. 

As the interview concluded, it was clear that innovation and partnerships are at the heart of Nona Biosciences’ approach to bridging gaps in cancer treatment, marking a promising path forward for oncology.
