Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a grim prognosis, and new therapies are urgently needed. This study investigated the antitumor activity of Oba01, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting death receptor 5 (DR5), in preclinical PC models. Oba01 demonstrated potent in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity in DR5-positive PC cells and xenografts, mediated through apoptosis induction, G2/M phase growth arrest, bystander effect, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). A synergistic effect was observed when Oba01 was combined with gemcitabine, enhancing antiproliferative activity both in vitro and in vivo. These results suggest Oba01 holds promise as a novel therapeutic approach for DR5-expressing PC.
