Frequently asked questions about HWK-016, MUCIN-16-targeted ADC

What is HWK-016 used for?

HWK-016 is an investigational antibody drug conjugate being studied for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and endometrial cancer. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What does HWK-016 target?

HWK-016 targets MUCIN-16, also known as MUC16, a protein that is often overexpressed in certain cancers. As an antibody drug conjugate, it is designed to deliver a cytotoxic agent to cells expressing MUC16, potentially reducing damage to healthy tissues.

Who is developing HWK-016?

HWK-016 is being developed by Whitehawk Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol WHWK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this investigational drug.

What phase is HWK-016 in?

HWK-016 is currently in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. The ongoing Phase 1 trial is recruiting participants to assess the drug's safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity.

What clinical trials is HWK-016 in?

HWK-016 is being evaluated in a single Phase 1 clinical trial with the identifier NCT07470853. This study is recruiting participants with advanced solid tumors, including platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer, and is being conducted in the United States with an estimated enrollment of 265 participants.

Is HWK-016 the same as MUC16-directed ADC?

Yes, HWK-016 is a MUC16-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC). It is designed to target the MUC16 protein, which is expressed on the surface of certain tumor cells. The drug is being studied for its potential to treat cancers that express this protein.
