ChemDiv Inc
ChemDiv Inc, a leading provider of drug discovery platforms and development solutions, celebrates a significant milestone in collaboration with Orionis Biosciences: the commencement of Phase I clinical trials for ORB-011, a cutting-edge attenuated, cis-targeted interferon immunotherapy compound.
ORB-011
ORB-011, a pioneering clinical candidate emerging from Orionis’ innovative A-Kine® platform, is the culmination of rigorous research and development efforts facilitated by ChemDiv’s robust covalent and bifunctional chem-bio arsenal. Engineered to exhibit highly selective, targeted activation of tumor-antigen-presenting cDC1 dendritic cells, ORB-011 leverages ChemDiv’s expertise in warheads to optimize interferon’s therapeutic potential while mitigating broad systemic activity and associated toxicities characteristic of traditional cytokine therapies.
