The business realignment is designed to support the optimization of internal resources and provide flexibility and agility to advance the Company’s novel Self-Assembly DisAssembly Pre-targeted Technology platform (SADA PRIT) programs through clinical development while simultaneously driving commercial growth of DANYELZA. - In conjunction with the business realignment, Y-mAbs appointed

Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Mid-Winter andAmerican College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM) Annual Meeting onJanuary 31, 2025 . The poster titled “Preclinical and Translational Pharmacokinetics of GD2-SADA, a Self-Assembling and Disassembling (SADA) Bispecific Fusion Protein for Pre-targeted Radioimmunotherapy (PRIT)” characterizes the plasma levels of GD2-SADA in animal models over time and a range of doses, while also presenting the concentration- and time-dependent equilibrium between GD2-SADA tetramers and monomers in vitro. Incorporated within translational PK simulations, the data have provided insights into GD2-SADA tumor exposure and plasma elimination, key parameters for minimizing systemic exposure to 177Lutetium-DOTA. - Interim data from a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating naxitamab with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in patients with relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma in the journal
Nature Communications . The article, titled “The anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody naxitamab plus GM-CSF for relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma: a phase 2 clinical trial,” details the results of a single-arm, global Phase 2 trial (Trial 201, NCT03363373) of patients with relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma and residual disease in the bone/bone marrow who received naxitamab on days 1, 3, and 5 (3 mg/kg/day) with GM-CSF (days -4 to 5) every 4 weeks, until a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was achieved, followed by 5 additional cycles every 4 weeks.
