Brief Summary:

GNX102 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb), an engineered biotechnology product, developed by GlycoNex that targets certain cancer cells by binding with high affinity to specific structures on cancer cells. Specifically, GNX102 binds to branched Lewis B/Lewis Y (LeB/LeY) glycans, which are novel glycan structures caused by glycosylation changes in tumors. This preferential binding to branched LeB/LeY versus monomeric LeB and LeY could improve the therapeutic index by both improving selectivity for tumor cells and reducing toxicity to normal tissues.

Patients with epithelial origin cancers that have a likelihood of GNX102 targeted antigen expression based on previous studies, including colorectal, hepatocellular, non-small cell lung, gastric, breast, pancreatic, cutaneous, acral, or mucosal melanoma, esophageal, prostate, and epithelial uterine cancers, can be screened for enrollment in the study.
