About Zymeworks

Zymeworks works on biological treatments for cancer that are still moving through clinical testing rather than already on the market. Among its programs are zanidatamab, a bispecific antibody being studied in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials for cancers of the biliary tract, the gastroesophageal area, the breast and the colon, and ZW49, an antibody-drug conjugate aimed at two sites on HER2 that is in Phase 1 testing for tumors that express this protein and have spread or advanced.

The company pairs its research with partnerships rather than going it alone, working with larger pharmaceutical names such as Merck Sharp & Dohme, Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, Daiichi Sankyo, Janssen Biotech, BeiGene and Exelixis. It also has research and licensing arrangements with LEO Pharma, focused on bispecific antibodies, and with Iconic Therapeutics.

Zymeworks was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker ZYME.
