Cancer immunotherapy: a new hope for patients
Cancer Facts And Figures
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and accounted for about 9 million deaths last year, a figure that seems to be constantly on the rise. This represents approximately one patient dying of cancer every 4 seconds.
Cancer: The Immunotherapy Revolution
Thanks to recent breakthroughs in Immuno-Oncology, some patients who would have been considered incurable just a few years ago can now gain several years of life, and sometimes even undergo complete remission.
Facing A New Challenge
Unfortunately, many patients cannot benefit from this medical revolution due to the low mutation rate of their tumor cells, rendering tumors “invisible” to their immune system.
AbLeads: New therapies targeting incurable cancers
Personalizing Therapies
Due to the heterogeneous nature of cancer, it is not possible to rely on any given therapeutic product to eventually treat every patient. Instead, we think that future advances in Oncology will be based on personalized treatments that have the potential to harness the power of the immune system.
A New Generation Of Therapeutic Antibodies
AbLeads’ ambition is to extend the benefits of Immunotherapy to a much greater number of patients, for whom no cure is available yet. To do so, we are developing a new generation of personalized therapeutic antibodies capable of activating the immune detection of tumors with a very low mutational profile.
Our Unique Dual Display Technology
To achieve this goal, our young startup has designed a unique antibody display technology allowing for the development of these innovative next-generation therapeutic antibodies bearing unprecedented specificity towards their cancer targets.
