AbbVie, a global biopharmaceutical company, announced in April 2016 that it will acquire Stemcentrx to further boost it’s oncology pipeline. SC-006 is a fruit of the merger. Though the mechanism of action is not revealed, it could be directed against DLL3 (delta-like protein 3) like SC-002.
SC-006 is in Phase I clinical trials in patients with CRC as an intravenous dose regime.
