Adagene Inc. (ADAG)

They are a platform-driven, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to transforming the discovery and development of novel antibody-based cancer immunotherapies. Their platform is designed to generate therapeutic antibody candidates with unique functional epitopes and species cross-reactivity as highlighted by their immunotherapy pipeline. These features enable their novel drug discovery strategy to advance from lead identification through vigorous preclinical modeling to biomarker-guided mono- and combination immunotherapy development in clinical settings. They have pioneered a dynamic interface design to harness the conformational diversity of antibodies, which enlarges epitope sampling of a given drug target for differentiated therapeutic antibody development. They aim to push the boundaries of antibody discovery and engineering through the precise design, construction, and selection of antibody product candidates intractable to traditional antibody technology. Their most advanced NEObody product candidate, ADG106, is a fully human ligand-blocking agonistic anti-CD137 mAb currently being evaluated in Phase Ib clinical trials in the United States and China.
