title: Technology evaluation: SGN-15, Seattle Genetics Inc.
abstract: Seattle Genetics is developing SGN-15 (BMS-182248, BR96-DOX), a monoclonal antibody-doxorubicin conjugate licensed from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) for the potential treatment of cancer, which is currently in phase II trials [283767], [305881], [391927]. BMS had licensed technology from Enzon to help antibodies such as SGN-15 penetrate tumors more efficiently [174538]. BMS also had an R&D agreement with Genzyme for the production of SGN-15 in transgenic goats milk [177921]. In 1993, Ixsys (now Applied Molecular Evolution Inc) and BMS entered into a three-year collaboration to apply Ixsys's molecular design technology to BMS's monoclonal antibody research [190662]. Seattle Genetics licensed SGN-15 from BMS in April 1999 [283767].
