4immune Therapeutics
4immune Therapeutics

Westwood, Massachusetts, United States

4immune Therapeutics has developed the first CAR T therapy to target and destroy the autoreactive T cells responsible for specific autoimmune disorders. Our multi-component CAR system with its novel adaptor molecule (CAL) bridges autologous or allogeneic CAR T cells to the offending autoreactive T cells to kill the cells and stop the disease in its tracks. Our first therapeutic targets early-stage type 1 diabetes, presently an incurable disease. There are many excellent therapies that successfully tamper down symptoms or prolong onset of the disease and have enhanced the quality of life for many patients. Others are achieving therapeutic value with beta cells transplants for late-stage patients. Our mission is to eradicate the disease-causing cells early in the process before too much pancreatic tissue damage has ensued and conquer autoimmune disorders for life.

Abintus Bio

San Diego, California, United States

Driven by a bold founding vision: Empowering patients from within, Abintus is pioneering potentially curative, off-the-shelf genetic medicines that engineer cells directly inside the patient’s body, also termed in vivo. These therapies are based on Abintus' clinically proven Modular Delivery Platform (MDP). The company’s two initial, fit-for-purpose, In Vivo programs are: 1. Highly selective gene expression targeting cell type/state via synthetic biology (e.g., In Vivo CAR-NK/T/Treg, In Vivo TCR-T) with applications across multiple gene delivery systems (e.g., AAV, lenti, adeno, retro) and therapeutic areas including leukemia, solid tumors, autoimmune, infectious, and genetic disease. 2. Simultaneous engineering of a diverse repertoire of active innate and adaptive immune cells (e.g., In Vivo CAR-X) with applications in diseases such as lymphoma and solid tumors. Abintus is leveraging over 20 years and $275 million of prior technology advancement for in vivo engineering including the treatment of over 350 patients through Phase 3 registration trials. Our company name comes from the Latin words “ab intus”, which means “from within”. We chose this name for 3 reasons: 1) Patients: We are pursuing product candidates that are designed to directly empower patients’ own immune cells to fight their disease from within. 2) Science: Our team is committed to scientific excellence and continual learning. Our differentiated technologies have the potential to directly reprogram activated immune cells “in situ”, or from within. 3) Culture: We believe our ability to achieve our vision will come from within - by building a performance-driven culture that prioritizes career development and rewards outstanding contributions. Abintus’ initial funding syndicate included Takeda Ventures and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Therapy Acceleration Program® (LLS TAP). Abintus Bio, Inc.
