ARX517 is an experimental antibody-drug conjugate for metastatic prostate cancer, aimed at the protein PSMA. Ambrx developed it and Johnson & Johnson took it over when it bought Ambrx in 2024.
ARX517 is an antibody-drug conjugate in which a humanised anti-PSMA IgG1 antibody is covalently conjugated to two molecules of a proprietary microtubule-disrupting toxin, AS269, according to its registry record. It came to Johnson & Johnson with the acquisition of Ambrx Biopharma, announced in January 2024. The phase 1 trial (NCT04662580), now sponsored by Janssen Research & Development as ARX517/JNJ-95298177, tests it alone or with apalutamide or abiraterone in metastatic prostate cancer and is active but no longer recruiting. A second phase 1 trial (NCT07082920) combines it with JNJ-78278343. No results are recorded here.
A humanised antibody against PSMA, a protein on prostate cancer cells, is joined at two sites to a microtubule-disrupting toxin called AS269, which stops the cancer cell dividing. Connects to PSMA.
1.ARX517's antibody arm binds PSMA on the surface of the cancer cell.
