ADC Therapeutics is focused on the creation of proprietary Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) for the therapy of both solid and hematological cancers. It uses monoclonal antibodies specific to specific tumor antigens conjugated to a innovative class of highly potent pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD)-based warheads to specifically kill cancer cells. The company is expanding ZYNLONTA into earlier stages of DLBCL and indolent lymphomas. In addition, IND-enabling efforts are in progress for the Company’s exatecan-based, prostate-specific membrane antigen.

Using our proprietary Antibody-Coupled T-cell Receptor (ACTR) technology, we are discovering and developing new cellular immunotherapies for cancer. The company doesn’t intend to make its own antibodies in-house, but rather align with various companies that want to enhance their experimental antibody drugs.

Fate Therapeutics develops clinical drug candidates for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer using its propriety iPSCs platform (induced pluripotent stem cells). These cell therapies are selectively engineered and provide novel synthetic mechanisms for regulating cellular function. The company utilizes iPSC master cell lines to generate immune system cells, including NK cells, T cells and CD34+ cells and is developing a portfolio of ready-to-use cellular immunotherapy products for the treatment of solid tumors (particularly lung, pancreatic and ovarian cancer). FT819, its first iPSC-derived CAR T-cell product candidate, demonstrates potent, dose-dependent B-cell killing comparable to that of autologous primary CAR T cells in in-vitro cytotoxicity assay using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in SLE.

Novocure is an oncology company pioneering a novel therapy for solid tumors called Tumor Treating Fields, or TTFields. TTFields are low intensity, alternating electric fields within the intermediate frequency range. TTFields disrupt cell division through physical interactions with key molecules during mitosis. This non-invasive treatment targets solid tumors.
