Dr. Wigginton is currently Chief Medical Officer of Cullinan Oncology, LLC. and an advisor to MPM Capital. Prior, he was Chief Medical Officer at MacroGenics, where he led the company&#8217;s clinical development programs. Dr. Wigginton also held leadership positions at Bristol Myers Squibb as Therapeutic Area Head in Immuno-Oncology for Early Clinical Research and as Executive Medical Director and Group Medical Director of Discovery Medicine-Clinical Oncology, and prior to that, Director of Clinical Oncology at Merck &amp; Co. Dr. Wigginton has also served in several positions for the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), including President, Chair of Executive Council, Board of Directors, and leadership roles on various operating committees. Early in his career, Dr. Wigginton worked at the National Cancer Institute for over 14 years, and served as Head of the Investigational Biologics Section in the Center for Cancer Research (intramural program). Dr. Wigginton earned his M.D. from the <span class=\"xn-org\">University of Michigan<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Sutro Biopharma<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Sutro Biopharma, Inc., located in <span class=\"xn-location\">South San Francisco<\/span>, is\u00a0a clinical-stage drug discovery, development\u00a0and manufacturing company. Using precise protein engineering and rational design, Sutro is advancing next-generation oncology therapeutics.<\/p>\n<p>Sutro&#8217;s proprietary and integrated cell-free protein synthesis platform XpressCF\u00ae and site-specific conjugation platform XpressCF+\u2122 led to the discovery of STRO-001 and STRO-002, Sutro&#8217;s first two internally-developed ADCs. STRO-001 is a CD74-targeting ADC currently being investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial of patients with advanced B-cell malignancies, including multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. STRO-001 was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for multiple myeloma in <span class=\"xn-chron\">October 2018<\/span>. STRO-002 is a folate receptor alpha (FolR\u03b1)-targeting ADC, currently being investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial of patients with ovarian and endometrial cancers. This is the second product candidate to be evaluated in clinical trials resulting from Sutro&#8217;s XpressCF\u00ae and XpressCF+\u2122 technology platforms. A third program, CC-99712 (BCMA-targeting ADC), which is part of Sutro&#8217;s collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb (formerly Celgene Corporation), is enrolling patients for its Phase 1 clinical trial of patients with multiple myeloma. Sutro&#8217;s proprietary technology was responsible for the discovery and manufacturing of CC-99712, for which Bristol Myers Squibb has worldwide development and commercialization rights. Sutro is entitled to development and regulatory milestone payments and tiered royalties from Bristol Myers Squibb for this BCMA ADC. Sutro is dedicated to transforming the lives of cancer patients by creating medicines with improved therapeutic profiles for areas of unmet need.<\/p>\n<p>To date, Sutro&#8217;s platform has led to cytokine-based immuno-oncology therapies, ADCs, vaccines and bispecific antibodies directed at precedented targets in clinical indications where the current standard of care is suboptimal. The platform allows it to accelerate discovery and development of potential first-in-class and best-in-class molecules through rapid and systematic evaluation of protein structure-activity relationships to create optimized homogeneous product candidates.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to developing its own oncology pipeline, Sutro is collaborating with select pharmaceutical and biotech companies to discover and develop novel,\u00a0next-generation therapeutics. As the pace of clinical development accelerates, Sutro and its partners are developing therapeutics designed to more efficiently kill tumors without harming healthy cells.<\/p>\n<p>Additional multimedia content from Sutro regarding STRO-001 and STRO-002 can be found\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2996790-1&amp;h=543656813&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F327114553%2Ff811566729&amp;a=here\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2996790-1&amp;h=67928655&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F327375608%2Fe8143e87fd&amp;a=here\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Sutro on Twitter,\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2996790-1&amp;h=1928358607&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2FSutroBio&amp;a=%40Sutrobio\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">@Sutrobio<\/a>, and at\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2996790-1&amp;h=338060963&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sutrobio.com%2F&amp;a=www.sutrobio.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.sutrobio.com<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about our passion for changing the future of oncology.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Forward-Looking Statements<br \/><\/b>This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the &#8220;safe harbor&#8221; provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, anticipated preclinical and clinical development activities, timing of clinical trials and announcements of clinical results, potential benefits of the company&#8217;s product candidates and platform and potential market opportunities for the company&#8217;s product candidates.
