Notes

EBC-129 is a first-in-class ADC targeting a tumor-specific N256-glycosylated epitope shared by CEACAM5 and CEACAM6, carrying an MMAE payload via a cathepsin-cleavable Mc-Val-Cit-PABC linker (DAR 3.5; ADCdb DRG0QBQKB). Phase 1 FIH (NCT05701527, EDDC sponsor) reported in advanced solid tumors with a heavily pretreated metastatic PDAC focus (n=21 PDAC across escalation+expansion; 58 total treated per Mirage/EBDC release). Doses 1.8/2.0/2.2 mg/kg Q3W; 1.8 and 2.2 mg/kg established as RP2Ds. Manageable safety: neutropenia 31.0% and infusion-related reactions 13.8% were the main TRAEs; neuropathy ~6%; no grade 5 events; no discontinuations for toxicity. Triage CONFIRMED explicit-zero ocular: OncLive/CancerNetwork coverage states "no ocular events reported," notable given MMAE ocular risk. FDA Fast Track granted for PDAC. Granular per-grade and per-PT toxicity tables (anemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, hepatic) not available at abstract/press level. Antibody name and isotype undisclosed by ADCdb/sponsor. MMAE payload physchem from PubChem CID 11542188. Conference-abstract/press granularity, so low-frequency AEs (including any low-grade ocular) below reporting threshold cannot be fully excluded, but ocular was explicitly characterized as absent.
