ArriVent BioPharma doses first patient in Phase 1 trial of dual‑target ADC ARR‑002 for ovarian and endometrial cancer

ArriVent BioPharma announced that the first patient was dosed in the U.S. Phase 1 study (NCT07755436) of ARR‑002, a tetravalent antibody‑drug conjugate that targets both MUC16 and NaPi2b in advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer. The drug uses site‑specific conjugation to vcMMAE with a drug‑to‑antibody ratio of 4. In August 2026 the company signed an exclusive license with Shanghai Allist Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize ARR‑002 in Greater China, while retaining rights elsewhere.

The first‑patient dosing marks a key clinical‑development milestone that moves ARR‑002 into human testing, potentially increasing investor interest and valuation. The Greater China licensing agreement expands the drug’s commercial opportunity in a large market.
