Y-mAbs Announces Preclinical GD2-SADA Data to be Presented at 2024 SNMMI Annual Meeting
The poster titled “High-affinity and specific binding between DOTA-chelated lanthanides and GD2-SADA, a self-assembling and disassembling bispecific fusion protein for pre-targeted radioimmunotherapy" (poster #241436) characterizes the binding properties of GD2-SADA, a Self-Assembling and DisAssembling (“SADA”) bispecific fusion protein used in a two-step approach to pre-targeted radioimmunotherapy (“PRIT”). Building on previous studies, the analysis demonstrates real-time, high-affinity binding interactions between the GD2-SADA protein and several “caged” lanthanide metals with diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
“The results reinforce the potential clinical utility of GD2-SADA in the diagnosis and treatment of GD2-expressing tumors, and the strength of our radiochemistry program,” said

Y-mAbs is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, radioimmunotherapy, and antibody-based therapeutic cancer products. The Company’s technologies include its investigational Self-Assembly DisAssembly (“SADA”) Pretargeted Radioimmunotherapy Platform (“PRIT”) and bispecific antibodies generated using the Y-BiClone platform. The Company’s broad and advanced product pipeline includes the anti-GD2 therapy DANYELZA® (naxitamab-gqgk), the first FDA-approved treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma in the bone or bone marrow after a partial response, minor response, or stable disease to prior therapy.
About GD2-
GD2-SADA is a bispecific fusion protein that tightly binds to the glycolipid GD2 and Lutetium 177 (Lu 177)-DOTA, a chelated or “caged” radionuclide. In the first step of pre-targeted radiotherapy, non-radiolabeled GD2-SADA tetramers are infused and bind to GD2-expressing solid tumors, while unbound GD2-SADA protein disassembles into low molecular weight monomers that are removed by the kidney. The second infusion delivers the “radioactive payload,” which binds directly to GD2-SADA on tumor cells for localized irradiation. GD2-
