Apexigen

Located in California, Apexigen is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that uses it's proprietary antibody drug discovery platform to develop drugs that enhance tumor-specific immunity.

‍

Artiva Biotherapeutics

Located in California, Artiva develops off-the-shelf therapies like allogeneic NK cell therapies, including CAR-NK cell therapies designed to treat solid tumors or hematologic malignancies. Their mission is to deliver safe and easily accessible cancer therapies to patients.

Filtricine

Located in California, Filtricine has developed targeted nutrient deprivation (TND) therapy, which focuses on taking away nutrients critical for the growth of cancer cells. This helps to exploit metabolic dependencies to stop cancer from spreading.

OncoMyx Therapeutics

Located in Arizona, OncoMyx Therapeutics develops immunotherapies that create an immune response to fight cancer. It's proprietary myxoma platform targets hematologic and solid tumors with a unique oncolytic virus called myxoma and a novel patented systemic delivery approach

ArsenalBio

Located in California, ArsenalBio is a programmable cell therapy company that uses CRISPR-enabled genome editing to engineer living medicines that attack cancer and improve patient lives.

Pyxis Oncology

Located in Massachusetts, Pyxis Oncology develops biologics that overcome suppression and target tumor cells. They believe that antibody drug candidates (ADCs) and immunotherapies hold the potential to improve patient lives and target difficult-to-treat cancers. 

Arch Oncology

Located in California, Arch Oncology is a clinical-stage company that develops antibody therapies to treat hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Their lead candidate AO-176 is used to treat patients with solid tumors and is currently going through Phase 1/2 clinical trials. AO-176 can directly kill tumor cells and induce DAMPs (Damage Associated Molecular Patterns), resulting in Immunogenic Cell Death.

Rakuten Medical

Located in California, Rakuten Medical is developing cell-targeting investigational therapies on its Illuminox™ technology platform. These therapies are known to demonstrate selective cell killing and tumor necrosis in preclinical studies. 

Triumvira Immunologics

Located in Texas, Triumvira Immunologics is developing a novel and proprietary T cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) technology that is thought to be safer and more effective than some of the current cancer treatments like antigen receptor (CAR) and engineered T cell receptor (TCR) therapies.

Inimmune

Located in Montana, Inimmune is developing next-generation immunotherapies for the treatment of autoimmunity and cancer.

Arcus Biosciences

Located in California, Arcus Biosciences is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for cancer using the ATP-adenosine pathway, which is a crucial pathway associated with immunosuppression in a tumor microenvironment. The company's product pipeline includes Etrumadenant, AB680, and Domvanalimab.
