About Avacta Group
Our mission is to shape the future of medicine by developing safe and efficacious drugs, and high performing diagnostics, based on our proprietary Affimer® and pre|CISIONᵀᴹ platforms.
The Affimer® platform is a novel class of biotherapeutic based on a naturally occurring human protein. It is Avacta’s proprietary therapeutic platform with its intellectual property covered by several patent families.
Avacta’s proprietary pre|CISIONᵀᴹ targeted chemotherapy platform, releases active drug only in the tumour, thereby limiting systemic exposure and improving the overall safety and therapeutic potential of these powerful anti-cancer treatments. Avacta expects to take its first pre|CISIONᵀᴹ drug candidate, AVA6000, a targeted form of the standard-of-care Doxorubicin, into the clinic by the second half of 2021.
By combining these two platforms the Company is building a pipeline of novel cancer therapies with the aim of creating effective treatments for all cancer patients including those who do not respond to existing immunotherapies.
Avacta’s diagnostics division, based in Wetherby, UK., utilises it’s proprietary Affimer® platform to develop high performing diagnostics and works with partners world-wide to develop Affimer reagents with the objective of establishing royalty bearing license deals.
