About Micromet, Inc. (http://www.micromet-inc.com)
Micromet, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the
development of novel, proprietary antibodies for the treatment of cancer,
inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Three of its antibodies are in
clinical development. MT103 (MEDI-538), the first antibody developed using
the BiTE(R) technology platform to be clinically validated in Micromet's
product pipeline, is being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial for the
treatment of patients with non- Hodgkin's lymphoma. BiTE antibodies
represent a new class of antibodies that activate a patient's own cytotoxic
T cells to eliminate cancer cells. Micromet is developing MT103 in
collaboration with MedImmune, a subsidiary of AstraZeneca plc. The second
clinical stage antibody is adecatumumab (MT201), a human monoclonal
antibody targeting EpCAM expressing tumors. Adecatumumab is being developed
by Micromet in collaboration with Merck Serono, a division of Merck KGaA in
Darmstadt, Germany, in a phase 1b clinical trial evaluating MT201 in
combination
