Achieving drug potential through

Anchored Immunotherapy

We are a clinical-stage biotech developing anchored-drug conjugates to trigger long lasting anti-tumor response without compromising safety.

As experienced drug developers, our mission is to optimize the impact of anchored immunotherapy to improve the lives of patients with cancer.

Designing Products With

Enhanced Tumor Retention

We believe the longer a drug stays in the tumor, the more meaningful the clinical benefit. This is why our anchored-drug conjugates are designed to improve the therapeutic window by binding molecules to aluminum hydroxide.

Anchored Immunotherapy prolongs anti-tumor immune activation, minimizes systemic side effects from drug leakage, and requires fewer dose frequency to achieve benefit.

Anchored Molecules Leading To

Improved Safety Profile

With our Anchored Immunotherapy platform, we are able to optimize drugs whose development has been challenging due to dose-limiting toxicities.

Our First Anchored-Drug Conjugate

ANK-101

After demonstrating potent therapeutic activity with a single dose in multiple preclinical models, our IL-12 anchored-drug conjugate is now being evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumors.
