Overview

GLB-A04 is a chemically modified DNA aptamer developed to specifically target phosphorylated AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (phospho-AXL), a protein implicated in cancer progression and metastasis, particularly in ovarian cancer. Through backbone modifications such as thiophosphate/dithiophosphate and polyethylene glycol conjugation at the 5' end, GLB-A04 demonstrates enhanced stability, bioavailability, and prolonged antitumor activity in preclinical models. In orthotopic mouse models of ovarian cancer, GLB-A04 administration resulted in significantly reduced tumor growth and metastasis. Its optimized design allows for sustained AXL inhibition at low doses, supporting further translational development as a targeted therapy for drug-resistant or metastatic ovarian cancer[2][4].
