GIGA-564, is an anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody that has demonstrated improved anti-tumor efficacy in vivo through a unique mechanism of action, led to reduced colon and skin inflammation.
The agreement aims to advance development of the company’s differentiated anti-CTLA-4 antibody drug candidate for cancer treatment, GIGA-564, a fully human monoclonal antibody, distinguishes itself from currently available anti-CTLA-4 drugs.
Under the agreement, GigaGen gains non-exclusive, worldwide commercial rights for application of ProteoNic's technology platform to the development and manufacturing of its mono- and polyclonal antibody drug candidates.
As part of this award, GigaGen will demonstrate its platform’s capabilities by producing recombinant human hyperimmune products that target DOD-priority pathogens, including a recombinant polyclonal antibody drug designed to neutralize botulinum neurotoxins A and B.
Lead Product(s):
Recombinant Human Polyclonal Antibody
GIGA-2050 is comprised of more than 12,000 antibodies demonstrating strong neutralizing activity against natural SARS CoV-2 variants in laboratory studies, including the delta variant and other variants that have emerged globally since the beginning of the pandemic.
