Adagene Inc. functions as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical organization, primarily concentrating on the identification, evolution, and fabrication of monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics engineered to combat various types of cancer. The company's developmental pipeline encompasses several investigational assets currently undergoing human trials. Among these is ADG106, a human ligand-blocking agonistic anti-CD137 monoclonal antibody, which is navigating Phase 1b/2 clinical assessment for individuals with advanced solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Additionally, Adagene is progressing ADG126, a fully-human anti-CTLA-4 mAb, and ADG116, another human ligand-blocking anti-CTLA-4 mAb, both of which are advancing through Phase 1 studies for the treatment of advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Further along, ADG104, an anti-PD-L1 mAb, is in Phase 2 clinical development, and the innovative anti-CSF-1R mAb, ADG125, is undergoing Phase 1 trials. Beyond its clinical-stage programs, the firm also maintains an active preclinical portfolio. This includes ADG206, a masked, Fc engineered anti-CD137 agonistic POWERbody; ADG153, a masked anti-CD47 IgG1 SAFEbody, which is being explored for hematologic and solid tumor indications; ADG138, a novel HER2xCD3 POWERbody designed to target HER2-expressing solid tumors; and ADG152, a CD20xCD3 POWERbody under investigation for its potential to minimize off-tumor toxicities. Adagene Inc. was founded in 2011 and its principal operations are based in Suzhou, China.
