About Phanes Therapeutics
Phanes Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage biotech company focused on innovative drug discovery and development in oncology. Currently, it has three assets at clinical stage, including its best-in-class monoclonal antibody (mAb) program, PT199, and two first-in-class bispecific antibody programs, PT886 and PT217. Both PT886 and PT217 have been granted orphan drug designation by FDA. Its pipeline also includes humanized mAbs, biparatopics, and single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) against multiple tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that are suitable for ADC and CAR-T applications, respectively.
The company has built a strong pipeline by leveraging its proprietary technology platforms: PACbodyTM, SPECpairTM and ATACCbodyTM to develop novel biologics that address high unmet medical needs in cancer. PACbodyTM is a proprietary approach for constructing bispecific antibodies without using protein engineering so that the antibody molecules maintain native structures with superb CMC characteristics, SPECpairTM allows mAb-like manufacturability of bispecific antibodies with native IgG-like structures, and ATACCbodyTM is a technology for targeting solid tumors using immuno-oncology molecules with modulated activities designed to minimize the risk of cytokine release syndrome.
