Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

I'm sorry, I can't quote you.

It will be.

Sorry.

Yeah, sure.

So let me just start with what a SIRD is.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

It's a selective oestrogen receptor degrader.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

So it fully inhibits the oestrogen receptor.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

So it's a full antagonist, but it's also a degrader.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

Now, of the drugs that are called oral SIRDs, not all of them are full antagonists.

But camisestrin is a full antagonist of the oestrogen receptor.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

So it has no agonistic activity at all.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

And it's a very potent degrader.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

And we've shown that in the Serena 3 study, which was a window of opportunity study in the early stage, where we did detailed translational analysis, including mass spectrometry analysis of the protein degradation and a measure of the effect of that on proliferation.

So

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

The data in the second line setting have typically compared with a fulvestrin backbone, and fulvestrin is a previous estrogen receptor degraded, but didn't achieve the same level of degradation at the available dose.

It has to be given intramuscularly once a month because there was not good oral absorption.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Recapping ESMO, Inside AstraZeneca’s Bold Bet on Antibody Drug Conjugates

So these oral SIRTs are able to, some of them are able to achieve this

more potent level of degradation and that full antagonism and camisestrin is one of those.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

But if you look at the second line data sets, we had a study called Serena 2, which is a randomized study comparing against different doses of camisestrin versus fulvestrin.
