Whitehawk Therapeutics presented two real-world analyses at IGCS 2026 showing MUC16 expression remained high and stable following standard-of-care therapies in ovarian cancer, and that high MUC16 expression was associated with poor real-world overall survival in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. The findings support the scientific rationale for HWK-016, the company's next-generation MUC16-directed ADC currently in Phase 1 development.
Why it matters — These analyses provide clinical validation for MUC16 as a durable therapeutic target and support the scientific rationale behind Whitehawk's lead ADC candidate HWK-016, which is currently in Phase 1 development.

Whitehawk Therapeutics presented two real-world analyses at WCLC 2026 that support PTK7 as a durable and clinically relevant ADC target in pretreated, EGFR wild-type non-small cell lung cancer.

Why it matters — The presentation bolsters the scientific case for Whitehawk's lead candidate, HWK-007, by indicating PTK7 remains a viable target in second- or later-line EGFR wild-type NSCLC.
