About the Company
Erytech is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative red blood cell-based therapeutics to treat severe forms of cancer and orphan diseases. Leveraging its proprietary ERYCAPS® platform, which uses a novel technology to encapsulate drug substances inside red blood cells, Erytech is developing a pipeline of product candidates for patients with high unmet medical needs. Erytech`s primary focus is on the development of product candidates that target the altered metabolism of cancer cells by depriving them of amino acids necessary for their growth and survival. The Company`s lead product candidate, eryaspase, which consists of L-asparaginase encapsulated inside donor-derived red blood cells, targets the cancer cell`s altered asparagine and glutamine metabolism. Eryaspase is in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of second-line pancreatic cancer and in Phase 2 for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. Erytech is based in Lyon, France and Cambridge, MA, USA, and has manufacturing sites in Lyon, France, and Princeton, New Jersey, USA.
