TheFly reported on June 16 that ZLAB announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to zocilurtatug pelitecan (zoci, formerly ZL-1310), the company’s potential first-in-class DLL3-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for pulmonary neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). The designation followed a positive recommendation from the EMA’s Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products, recognizing the significant unmet need for new treatment options in this disease area. The decision was supported by early clinical findings in relapsed or refractory extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, suggesting zoci may provide durable responses and potential advantages compared with existing therapies. The designation may also provide regulatory benefits, including development incentives and possible market exclusivity.
