Genmab is the Danish antibody engineering company behind the DuoBody platform, Tivdak, Epkinly, and (via ProfoundBio) rinatabart sesutecan.
Genmab, based in Copenhagen and listed as GMAB, is the Danish antibody engineering company behind the DuoBody platform, Tivdak, Epkinly and, through ProfoundBio, rinatabart sesutecan. Its own products are tisotumab vedotin, epcoritamab, a CD20 by CD3 bispecific, rinatabart sesutecan, a folate receptor alpha ADC in the RAINFOL-01 phase 3, and acasunlimab, a PD-L1 by 4-1BB bispecific, while its DuoBody technology underlies teclistamab, talquetamab and amivantamab, and daratumumab and ofatumumab are also linked. OnCo links it to cervical and endometrial cancer, lymphoma and head and neck cancer, and to the LiGeR-HN1 trial. Whether a royalty-rich platform company can become a fully commercial oncology business is the open question. Tisotumab vedotin has its own page.

Tisotumab vedotin is an ADC against tissue factor, the first to show a survival benefit in recurrent cervical cancer.
Acasunlimab is an experimental bispecific antibody from Genmab in phase 3 trials for non-small-cell lung cancer, aimed at PD-L1.
MCLA-129 is an experimental bispecific antibody from Betta Pharmaceuticals in phase 2 trials for non-small-cell lung cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and colorectal cancer, aimed at EGFR and MET.
The CD38 antibody that turned triplets into quadruplets: adding it to standard induction roughly halves the risk of myeloma progressing.
Epcoritamab is an under-the-skin injection that pulls T cells onto lymphoma cells; it is approved for relapsed large B-cell and follicular lymphoma, and moving toward first line.
Ofatumumab (Arzerra) is a fully human anti-CD20 antibody for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, used with chlorambucil in untreated patients or alone after other drugs have failed; the same molecule is sold as Kesimpta for multiple sclerosis.
A two-armed antibody that blocks EGFR while gripping LGR5, a marker of cancer stem cells, so it hits the cells that regrow tumours.
Rinatabart sesutecan is a next-generation folate-receptor ADC with a topoisomerase payload that responds in both ovarian and endometrial cancer regardless of receptor level.
