Asunercept (APG101)
Clinical Efficacy in Two Indications
Our lead immuno-oncology candidate asunercept (APG101) is in clinical development for the treatment of a variety of solid tumors and malignant hematological diseases. It has demonstrated statistically significant efficacy in a controlled phase II proof-of-concept trial in recurrent glioblastoma. Patients with a certain biomarker experienced the greatest benefit from treatment with asunercept. Apogenix is developing a companion diagnostic test based on this biomarker, so asunercept can be used as a personalized therapy.
Technology
The Apogenix team has created the HERA-ligand technology platform for the development of novel hexavalent 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.
