Acepodia develops targeted cell therapies for cancer patients. The company has developed innovative immune cell activators with enhanced and targeted efficacy through antibody-cell conjugation (ACC) technology. As advertised they feature improved safety and broad applicability across hematological and solid tumors. The ACC technology is based on the 2022 Nobel Prize-winning bioorthogonal chemistry developed by Professor Carolyn Bertozzi. With ACC technology, tumor-targeting antibodies are conjugated to allogeneic immune cells, such as natural killer cells and gamma-delta-2 T cells. The second company's platform, Acepodia Antibody-Dual-Drugs Conjugation (AD2C), enables the facile integration of multiple linker payloads through a site-specific conjugation process. The company's flagship drug is in clinical trials for the treatment of liver cancer.
