Aura Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing virus-like drug conjugates (VDC), a novel class of therapies, for the treatment of multiple oncology indications. At Aura, our mission is to deliver meaningful therapeutic benefit to a range of cancer indications with high unmet need in which we believe we can establish a new standard of care. We are driven by our passion and commitment to science and the patients battling cancer who are relying on us to pioneer these new therapies. We are focusing the initial development of our VDC technology platform to treat tumors of high unmet need in ocular and urologic oncology. Belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar), our first VDC candidate, is being developed for the first-line treatment of early-stage choroidal melanoma, a rare disease with no drugs approved. Beyond early-stage choroidal melanoma, we are developing bel-sar in additional ocular oncology indications, including choroidal metastasis. Leveraging our VDCs` broad tumor targeting capabilities, we have also initiated a clinical program in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, or NMIBC, our first non-ocular solid tumor indication.
BPGbio is a clinical-stage biopharma reimagining how patient biology can be modeled using unbiased AI algorithms, to accelerate and de-risk the process of drug discovery for humanity. Our Interrogative Biology® platform has produced and guided development of more than a dozen therapeutics and diagnostics candidates in the areas of oncology, neurology and rare diseases, including several in advanced clinical stages. As BPGbio continues to expand our biobank, and the network insights that are derived from it, we anticipate more promising discoveries made with improved time and cost efficiency.
