Lead Product Candidate: Tolododekin alfa (ANK-101)

No IL-12 based therapies have yet been approved

Key Challenges:

  • Drugs have yielded minimal efficacy at acceptable doses
  • High toxicity concerns limit clinical trial success

Tolododekin alfa (ANK-101) is an IL-12 Anchored Drug Conjugate

  • Drug designed to extend IL-12 antitumor activity in tumors​
  • Optimized phosphorylation on alum-binding peptdite (ABP) leads to stable anchoring of IL-12
  • Drug shows potent therapeutic activity after a single dose as a monotherapy and in combination with other agents in multiple murine tumor models
  • Has favorable safety profile (no dose-limiting toxicities) in mice, dogs, and non-human primates
