AbbVie to Present New Data at ESMO 2025 Reinforcing Leadership in Advancing Targeted Therapies for Solid Tumors
NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced it will unveil new data from its robust antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) platform at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, taking place October 17-21, in Berlin, Germany. Data from investigational and approved ADCs across AbbVie's portfolio such as telisotuzumab adizutecan (Temab-A), 1-3 ABBV-706, 4,5 and Emrelis™ (telisotuzumab vedotin), 6 in patients with difficult-to-treat tumor types where there is urgent need for additional treatment options, 7-15 will be featured in multiple presentations.
"Despite recent progress in the treatment of advanced solid tumors, patients still face limited options and pressing unmet needs," said Daejin Abidoye, M.D., vice president, therapeutic area head, oncology, solid tumor and hematology, AbbVie. "The compelling data we are sharing at ESMO showcases how we are advancing targeted therapies across a range of solid tumors and highlights the potential of our portfolio."
Key highlights
AbbVie will present three oral presentations for Temab-A, a next-generation, investigational c-Met directed ADC with a novel topoisomerase 1 inhibitor (Top1i) payload. Phase 1 results with Temab-A both as a monotherapy and in combination across advanced, solid tumors will be presented:
"Temab-A continues to show meaningful clinical activity across an expanding range of solid tumors and patient populations, including patients with MET-amplification and increased c-Met expression as we have seen in previously presented data," said Vivek Subbiah, M.D., Chief, Early-Phase Drug Development, Sarah Cannon Research Institute and Temab-A investigator. "These data reinforce Temab-A's potential in multiple solid tumors and thereby warrant its further clinical investigation."
AbbVie will also present new analysis from a Phase 1 study of ABBV-706, a SEZ6-directed ADC with a Top1i payload, in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer (R/R SCLC) ( NCT05599984).
A Phase 2 study assessing ABBV-706 in combination with atezolizumab as replacement of platinum-based chemotherapy is currently ongoing ( NCT07155174) in 1L SCLC.
