Projectdetails

Introduction

Nectin Therapeutics (NectinTx) is a venture-backed company with a top-notch team focused on innovative therapeutic options for cancer patients.

Pipeline Development

To address the limitations of available therapies, the company has developed a diverse pipeline of antibodies that overcome immune inhibitory pathways deployed by the tumors.

NTX1088

NTX1088 is a monoclonal antibody that binds human poliovirus receptor (PVR) and activates the patient’s immune system to fight cancer through a triple mechanism of action never demonstrated before.

Preclinical Data

A comprehensive preclinical dataset was generated to show the robust antitumor activity of NTX1088 in vitro and in vivo.

Clinical Trials

Following IND approval and strong backing from key opinion leaders, the Phase I clinical trial has commenced, aimed to enroll patients with solid tumors.

Market Impact

The project will accelerate the clinical development of NTX1088 towards a novel therapy in the €80 billion immune-oncology drug market, resulting in better outcomes for patients and reduced societal and economic burden associated with cancer.
