(Nasdaq: ZYME), a biotechnology company managing a portfolio of licensed healthcare assets while developing a diverse pipeline of novel, multifunctional biotherapeutics, today presented new clinical data from the dose-escalation portion of its ongoing Phase 1 study evaluating ZW191, a folate receptor alpha (FR\u03b1)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Gynaecological Cancers Congress 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation highlights compelling anti-tumor activity in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and in patients with endometrial cancer, including patients with both positive and negative FR\u03b1 expression. The results further support the potential of ZW191 to address limitations of currently available and investigational FR\u03b1-targeted therapies and broaden treatment opportunities for patients with gynecologic cancers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are highly encouraged by these data, which continue to demonstrate the differentiated profile of ZW191 and its potential to deliver meaningful clinical benefit across a broad population of patients with ovarian and endometrial cancers,\u201d said Sabeen Mekan, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Zymeworks. \u201cThe response rate observed in FR\u03b1-positive ovarian cancer patients compares favorably with currently available therapies, while maintaining meaningful activity in patients with negative FR\u03b1 expression. Together these encouraging data on durability, progression-free survival, and manageable safety profile further strengthen our confidence in the program and reinforce the ability of our ADC platform to generate differentiated therapeutics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The analysis included efficacy data by FR\u03b1 expression level from Part 1 of the ongoing Phase 1 study as of the March 9, 2026, data cutoff. FR\u03b1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry and categorized using the Proportion and Staining Intensity, defined as the percentage of cells with 2+\/3+ staining. Tumors were categorized as FR\u03b1-negative (&lt;75%) or FR\u03b1-positive (\u226575%).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Key Findings<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Among response-evaluable PROC patients, ZW191 demonstrated a cORR of 78.6% in patients with FR\u03b1-positive tumors and 47.4% in patients with FR\u03b1-negative tumors across all dose levels. Disease control rates were 100.0% and 89.5%, respectively. Confirmed ORR in the overall PROC population was 58.8% across all dose levels studied and 65.2% in dose range of 6.4-9.6 mg\/kg. These findings demonstrate meaningful anti-tumor activity across both FR\u03b1-positive and FR\u03b1-negative tumors as well as in the overall population.<\/p>\n<p>In endometrial cancer patients with FR\u03b1-negative tumors, ZW191 demonstrated a cORR of 40.0% and a disease control rate of 80.0% across all doses evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>Across both ovarian and endometrial cancer cohorts, responses were observed early and continued to deepen over time. Median duration of response was not reached at the time of data cutoff, and median progression-free survival was 7.6 months.<\/p>\n<p>ZW191 continued to demonstrate a favorable tolerability profile. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 98% of patients, with grade \u22653 TEAEs reported in 55% of patients. The most common grade \u22653 adverse events were neutropenia (24%), anemia (20%), and thrombocytopenia (12%). Serious TEAEs occurred in 35% of patients, and 20% of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse events. Overall, the safety profile was manageable and consistent with continued clinical development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese results further demonstrate the potential of ZW191 to provide meaningful clinical benefit for patients with difficult-to-treat gynecologic cancers,\u201d said Kosei Hasegawa, M.D., Ph.D., Saitama Medical University International Medical Center and presenting author. \u201cThe robust activity observed in FR\u03b1-positive ovarian cancer, together with encouraging responses in tumors with lower FR\u03b1 expression, suggests ZW191 could expand the benefit of FR\u03b1-targeted therapy to a broader patient population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Part 2a, the dose optimization portion of the Phase 1 study evaluating ZW191 in ~60 PROC patients randomized to either 6.4 mg\/kg every three weeks or 9.6 mg\/kg every three weeks, has completed enrollment. Data from Part 2a will be presented at a future medical meeting and are expected to inform dose selection for potential future development.<\/p>\n<p>ZW191\u2019s differentiated profile, including its novel FR\u03b1-targeting antibody, ZD06519 payload, and high drug-to-antibody ratio, supports its potential to address key limitations of current therapies and broaden the applicability of FR\u03b1-targeted treatment approaches across multiple tumor types.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About ZW191<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>ZW191 is an antibody-drug conjugate engineered to target a protein called folate receptor-\u237a found in ~75% of high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas<sup>1<\/sup>, over 50% of endometrial cancers<sup>2,3<\/sup> and ~70% of lung adenocarcinomas<sup>4<\/sup>. ZW191\u2019s differentiated design strongly supports its ability to internalize into FR\u237a-expressing cells with the potential to release bystander active topoisomerase-1 inhibitor (ZD06519), a novel proprietary payload developed by Zymeworks to kill tumor cells.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About\u00a0Zymeworks Inc.\u00a0<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Zymeworks\u00a0is a global biotechnology company managing a portfolio of licensed healthcare assets and developing a diverse pipeline of novel, multifunctional biotherapeutics to improve the standard of care for difficult-to-treat diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune disease.
