Technology
Mesenkia’s proof-of-concept studies with KITAIbodies® show strong therapeutic potential. It opens the door to precision therapies engineered at nano-scale — with the potential for global clinical impact. From a single domain (nanobody), we aim to unlock a new generation of targeted cancer treatments. KITAIbodies® is a modular platform that allows us to engineer multiple therapeutics formats from a single validated domain.
The KITAIbodies® hinders tumor growth and invasion via the essential APRIL-HVEM-NFκB axis in the tumor and alleviates immune suppression by blocking the BTLA-HVEM axis on immune cells.
Therapeutic drugs incorporating the KITAIbodies® have a clear potential for integration into both first line therapy and standard of care. KITAIbodies® are developed from the evolutionary unique Alpaca antibodies known for their superior properties and ability to penetrate the tumor.
