Merck has struck a deal to develop Seattle Genetics’ antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ladiratuzumab vedotin. The agreement will see Merck pay $600 million and make a $1 billion investment in Seattle Genetics in return for the chance to embark on a joint development program.

Ladiratuzumab vedotin is designed to deliver a microtubule-disrupting agent to cells that express the zinc transporter LIV-1. As LIV-1 is upregulated in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and its expression is maintained after hormonal therapy, Seattle Genetics identified the transporter as a way to target tumor cells. Once in a cell, the ADC releases its payload, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
