Advancing Bispecific Antibody Therapies
The AffiMab platform is an innovative core technology developed by AbClon, designed to revolutionize cancer treatment through the creation of bispecific antibodies. These engineered molecules simultaneously bind to two distinct targets, delivering synergistic therapeutic effects that traditional monoclonal antibodies cannot achieve. By combining precision targeting of cancer cells with the activation of the immune system, the AffiMab platform redefines the potential of antibody-based therapies.
Key Features of the AffiMab Platform
- Dual-Targeting Precision:
AffiMab antibodies are engineered to interact with two unique antigens concurrently. For instance, one arm of the antibody binds to a tumor-associated antigen (TAA), such as EGFR or PSMA, while the other targets immune cell activators like 4-1BB. This dual mechanism ensures precise targeting of cancer cells while amplifying the body’s natural immune response. - Immune System Activation:
By bridging the gap between tumors and immune cells, AffiMab antibodies enhance immune recognition and destruction of cancer cells. This dual engagement strategy addresses the limitations of single-target therapies and is particularly effective in resistant or hard-to-treat cancers. - Customizable and Versatile:
The AffiMab platform is designed for flexibility, allowing scientists to tailor bispecific antibodies to specific diseases or cancer subtypes. Its adaptability makes it a versatile tool for addressing a wide range of therapeutic challenges, extending beyond oncology into other complex diseases. - Strong Pipeline Candidates:
Leveraging the AffiMab platform, AbClon has developed promising bispecific antibodies, including:- AM105 (EGFR/4-1BB): Aimed at solid tumors like metastatic colorectal cancer.
- AM109 (PSMA/4-1BB): Targeted for prostate cancer, combining precision targeting with potent immune activation.
Advantages of the AffiMab Platform
- Enhanced Efficacy:
The dual-action mechanism ensures better therapeutic outcomes, outperforming traditional monoclonal antibodies in efficacy and durability. - Combatting Resistance:
By engaging multiple pathways, AffiMab minimizes the likelihood of cancer cells developing resistance, a common challenge in single-target therapies. - Broad Applicability:
From solid tumors to hematological malignancies, the versatility of the AffiMab platform makes it a powerful tool in various therapeutic areas.
