Whitehawk Therapeutics (AADI) Fireside Chat Transcript
2025-06-26 15:00
Summary of Whitehawk Therapeutics Fireside Chat - June 26, 2025 Company Overview - Whitehawk Therapeutics, formerly known as Adi Bioscience, underwent a transformation completed in Q1 2025, focusing on developing an advanced ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) portfolio after selling its mTOR inhibitor product to Kaken Pharmaceuticals for $100 million [3][4][15]. Pipeline and Technology - The company is developing a three-asset ADC portfolio targeting various cancers, including lung, ovarian, and gastrointestinal cancers, with a focus on established tumor biology and clinically validated tumor markers [4][5][14]. - All three programs are currently in preclinical stages, with IND (Investigational New Drug) filings anticipated by mid-2026 [6][13]. - The ADC platform utilizes a linker payload technology designed for greater stability, reduced off-target toxicity, and improved therapeutic index [5][12][13]. Key Programs 1. **HAWK 007 (PTK7-targeted ADC)** - PTK7 is broadly overexpressed in various solid tumors, with expression rates of 60-70% in cancer patients [20][21]. - The program aims to demonstrate differentiation from previous compounds, with a focus on lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer [24][26]. - Initial phase one trials will target patients with moderate to high expression of PTK7, aiming for a minimum response rate of 40% in lung cancer and 50% in ovarian cancer [56]. 2. **HAWK 016 (MUC16-targeted ADC)** - MUC16 is a circulating biomarker in ovarian cancer, with the approach focusing on targeting the membrane-bound portion to avoid complications from circulating biomarkers [60][63]. - The program will initially focus on gynecological cancers, with potential expansion into pancreatic and non-small cell lung cancers in the future [70]. 3. **HAWK 206 (SEZ6-targeted ADC)** - This program is in the early stages, with a biparatopic approach aimed at enhancing internalization and efficacy in neuroendocrine tumors and small cell lung cancer [71][78]. Competitive Landscape - The ADC market is competitive, with other companies like Zymeworks and Day One Pharmaceuticals developing next-generation ADCs. Whitehawk believes its platform offers superior optimization in terms of linker stability, hydrophilicity, and therapeutic index [36][46]. - The company aims to differentiate its products by demonstrating better efficacy and safety profiles compared to existing therapies [30][46]. Financial Position and Future Outlook - Whitehawk started Q2 2025 with approximately $185 million in cash, providing operational runway into early 2028 to generate clinical data before seeking additional funding [88][90]. - The company plans to release more preclinical data in 2026, focusing on a comprehensive view of its products' potential before public disclosures [89][90]. Conclusion - Whitehawk Therapeutics is positioned to make significant advancements in the ADC space with its innovative platform and targeted therapies. The upcoming IND filings and clinical trials will be critical in validating its approach and establishing its market presence.

Whitehawk Therapeutics (AADI) FY Conference Transcript
2025-05-28 19:30
Summary of Whitehawk Therapeutics FY Conference Call Company Overview - **Company Name**: Whitehawk Therapeutics - **Background**: Whitehawk Therapeutics was formed from the previous company Adi Biosciences, which commercialized an mTOR inhibitor called Fiaro, generating approximately $25 million in annual sales in the US. The company underwent a transformation by selling Fiaro to a Japanese pharmaceutical company and raised about $250 million to license a portfolio of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for oncology treatments [4][5][6]. Core Points and Arguments - **Focus on Oncology**: Whitehawk is focused on developing a portfolio of ADCs for various cancers, marking its first participation in the ASCO conference as a newly branded entity [4][6]. - **Strategic Partnerships**: The company partnered with WuXi Biologics and Hangzhou DAC to access innovative ADC platforms, paying $44 million upfront for three next-generation ADC assets [10][12]. - **Technology Differentiation**: The ADC platform is differentiated by its targeting approach, linker system, and payload delivery, which are optimized for stability and efficacy [15][16][20]. - **Clinical Development**: Whitehawk plans to bring its ADC portfolio into clinical trials over the next year, with IND filings for three ADCs (HAWK007, MUC16, and SCC6) planned in rapid succession [6][41][42]. Important Insights - **Market Opportunity**: There is significant unmet need in the oncology space, particularly for patients with EGFR wild-type lung cancer, where ADCs have not yet made substantial inroads [28][30]. - **Precedent Data**: The three ADC targets (PTK7, MUC16, and SCC6) have shown promising efficacy signals in previous programs, which were discontinued due to safety concerns with first-generation ADCs [39][40]. - **Potential for Best-in-Class**: Whitehawk believes its next-generation ADCs can outperform existing therapies, with the potential for improved overall response rates and progression-free survival [46][51]. - **Focus on Specific Indications**: The company aims to build on existing data by focusing on specific indications, such as lung and ovarian cancer, rather than a broad approach, to demonstrate efficacy [50][51]. Additional Noteworthy Content - **Clinical Experience**: Early data from Hangzhou DAC's internal programs indicate good tolerability and potency, which supports Whitehawk's investment in this platform [32][33]. - **Payload Variations**: The company is utilizing a proprietary topoisomerase inhibitor payload, which is believed to have a better safety profile compared to existing options [25][26]. - **Future Directions**: Whitehawk is considering expanding its focus to include endometrial cancer due to high expression levels of PTK7 and unmet medical needs in that area [52][53]. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed during the conference call, highlighting Whitehawk Therapeutics' strategic direction, technological innovations, and market opportunities in the oncology sector.
