The latest announcement is out from CStone Pharmaceuticals ( (HK:2616) ).

CStone Pharmaceuticals has presented new preclinical data on three proprietary antibody-drug conjugates at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research meeting, underscoring its push into next-generation oncology therapies. The candidates, CS5007 targeting EGFR/HER3, CS5006 targeting ITGB4, and CS5008 targeting DLL3/SSTR2, are all built on the company’s in-house ADC platform that uses a hydrophilic CSL20 linker and the potent exatecan payload to enhance stability and tumor-specific drug release.

Lead asset CS5007 is a bispecific ADC designed to bind both EGFR and HER3, addressing treatment resistance and tumor heterogeneity that limit current single-target EGFR drugs. Early in vitro data show CS5007 has superior plasma stability compared with an established benchmark ADC, with minimal free payload release over seven days, suggesting a potentially favorable safety profile and reinforcing CStone’s ambitions to strengthen its competitive position in the ADC segment of the oncology market.
