Asunercept
Clinical Development in Three Indications
Our lead immunotherapy candidate asunercept is in clinical development for the treatment of solid tumors, malignant hematological diseases, and COVID-19. It has shown significant improvements in progression-free survival and quality of life as well as a positive trend in overall survival in a controlled phase II proof-of-concept trial in recurrent glioblastoma. In a phase I trial in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), treatment with asunercept led to a decrease in transfusion frequency in 40 percent of patients during the duration of the trial.
Technology
The Apogenix team has created the HERA-ligand technology platform for the development of novel receptor agonists that target different TNFSF-dependent signaling pathways, which play a crucial role in the regulation of the immune response. These fusion proteins offer clear advantages over other biologics such as antibodies and have the potential for broad application in oncology.
