Appia Bio is an early stage biotechnology company based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2020, Appia Bio is focused on discovering and developing engineered allogeneic cell therapies across a broad array of indications with a scalable technology platform that increases access for patients. With its ACUA (Appia Cells Utilized for Allogeneic) technology platform, Appia Bio leverages the biology of lymphocyte development with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) gene engineering to generate CAR-engineered invariant natural killer T (CAR-iNKT) cell subtypes from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).
Targeting a better life for people with cancer is why we get up in the morning. It`s not enough to disrupt the progress of someone`s cancer; we want to keep cancer from disrupting someone`s life. That`s why everything we do is about developing the most precise, targeted cancer therapies. We believe this is the best way to get people back to their lives—back to living today, tomorrow, and beyond. Because for us, targeting a better now is the only thing that matters. ImmunoGen is a leader in developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Our lead product candidate, mirvetuximab soravtansine, is a first-in-class folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeting ADC with multiple studies underway in ovarian cancer. Our second pivotal program, IMGN632, is a CD123-targeting ADC being studied as a monotherapy in BPDCN and in combination in AML. Our earlier-stage assets in development are IMGC936, an ADAM9-targeting ADC in co-development with MacroGenics, and IMGN151, our next generation anti-folate receptor alpha ADC.
