Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals by Upstream
UPB-101 is a monoclonal antibody designed to block the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor (TLSPR) and thus inhibit TSLP-driven inflammation. TSLP is a cytokine and a key driver of inflammatory response in asthma and other allergic and inflammatory diseases.
The funding will allow Upstream to advance the company’s lead program UPB-101, a clinical-stage monoclonal antibody targeting the TSLP receptor, and build a pipeline of assets to address immune-mediated diseases.
