EGFR(V)-EDV-Dox
EGFR(V)-EDV-Dox using EnGeneIC EDV™ technology is a bacterially derived minicell which packages a toxic payload, Doxorubicin, into a 400 nm particle which targets specific cancer cells using bispecific antibodies (BsAb). BsAb-targeted, payload-packaged EDV nanocells only exit the leaky blood vessels associated with tumors and enter into the tumor microenvironment. The BsAb binds to the tumor cell-surface receptor, where the EDV is taken up, broken down within the cancer cell and releases the Doxorubicin. The residual EDVs that do not make it into the tumor microenvironment, are engulfed by cells of the immune system and since the EDVs are derived from bacteria, they carry potent immuno-stimulating components which appear to bypass the immuno-suppression caused by the tumor.
