About Avacta Group plc - https://www.avacta.com
Avacta Group is a UK-based life sciences company focused on improving healthcare outcomes through targeted cancer treatments and diagnostics.
Avacta has two divisions: A clinical stage oncology biotech division harnessing proprietary therapeutic platforms to develop novel, highly targeted cancer drugs, and a diagnostics division focused on supporting healthcare professionals.
Avacta has two proprietary platforms, pre|CISION™ and Affimer®.
The pre|CISION™ platform is a highly specific substrate for fibroblast activation protein (FAP) which is highly upregulated in most solid tumours compared with healthy tissues. The pre|CISIONTM platform harnesses this tumour specific protease to activate pre|CISIONTM peptide drug conjugates and pre|CISIONTM antibody drug conjugates in the tumour microenvironment, reducing systemic exposure and toxicity, allowing dosing to be optimised to deliver the best outcomes for patients.
The lead pre|CISION™ programme AVA6000, a peptide drug conjugate form of doxorubicin, is in Phase 1 studies. It has shown a dramatic improvement in safety and tolerability compared with standard doxorubicin and preliminary signs of clinical activity.
Affimer® is a novel biologic platform which has significant technical and commercial advantages compared with antibodies and can be used both to develop advanced immunotherapies and to improve the performance of immunodiagnostics.
