Rare autoantibody diseases: an innovative targeted pathway

Drug Target Review

Approximately three percent of the global population — 240 million people — experience autoantibody diseases, which occur when one’s own body attacks critical organs and tissues. Antibodies protect us by attaching to molecules on those invaders (known as antigens) and triggering our body’s natural immune response to destroy them.

Aleta’s Novel T Cell Engagers

SugarCone Biotech

These agents simultaneously bind to a tumor-associated protein on cancer cells and the CD3 protein on T-cells, facilitating a targeted anti-cancer immune response. Consequently, these drugs have limited ability to keep patients disease-free and limited impact on patient survival. doi: 10.1136/jitc-2021-004348 6.
