“AMV564 is a T cell engager that selectively eliminates myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in cancer patients while sparing normal neutrophils and monocytes. Its unique activity and excellent safety profile positions AMV564 well, as monotherapy or in combination with other agents, for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors,” said Jeanmarie Guenot, Ph.D., Amphivena Chief Executive Officer and President.
“The Series C financing is an endorsement by new and existing investors of our leadership in the evolving T cell engagement space,” said Peter Van Vlasselaer, Ph.D., Executive Chairman. “This funding enables us to study the therapeutic impact of selective MDSC removal in both hematologic and solid cancers and to advance AMV564 and our novel T cell engagement portfolio to the forefront of immuno-oncology.”
