OncoPrecision Presents ONC001 at the ASH Annual Meeting
OncoPrecision Corporation, a forward-thinking biotechnology firm focused on developing innovative cancer therapies, has announced that its lead drug candidate, ONC001, will be showcased through an oral presentation at the upcoming 67th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). This prestigious event is set to occur from December 6 to 9, 2025, in Orlando, Florida.
About ONC001
ONC001 is a pioneering antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that is specifically designed to target CD64, a myeloid-restricted receptor significantly expressed in monocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia types M4 and M5, particularly in highly resistant subpopulations. Developed utilizing OncoPrecision's proprietary discovery engine, this drug candidate integrates large-scale patient-derived biology along with advanced AI-powered high-throughput screening to pinpoint the most relevant cellular vulnerabilities.
This unique methodology enabled the identification of a lead antibody with a high affinity for an undervalued target, alongside the optimal payload and linker chemistry of the ADC to minimize off-target toxicity and preserve healthy hematopoiesis. As ONC001 progresses toward Investigational New Drug (IND) studies, it signifies a differentiated approach to overcoming resistance often induced by monocytic therapy.
Presentation Highlights
Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Gastón Soria, is slated to present preclinical data that underscoring three significant areas:
1.
Selective Engagement: Demonstrating how ONC001 selectively attracts cells derived from patients with monocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.
2.
Robust Activity: Showcasing its compelling effectiveness against samples resistant to current standard therapies.
3.
In Vivo Efficacy: Sharing strong in vivo data from both heterotopic and orthotopic models showing the potential success of ONC001.
Dr. Tarek Zaki, co-founder and CEO of OncoPrecision, expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming presentation, emphasizing that being selected for an oral session at ASH highlights the fundamental strength of this novel therapeutic approach. “ONC001 is specifically designed to target the resistance mechanisms that drive certain aggressive hematologic cancers, thus providing a new pathway to overcome common therapeutic failures. We look forward to sharing our findings with the global hematology community and engaging in discussions with potential strategic and development partners.”
Dr. Soria adds, “ONC001 is a direct result of our platform’s capability to integrate patient-derived biological insights with rational target selection and payload compatibility. Although CD64 has been recognized for years as a biomarker for monocytic leukemia, no approved or clinical-phase asset has successfully utilized it as a therapeutic target. Our platform has revealed that an ADC modality is the optimal pathway to achieve this goal.”
