About us
We target CD47 differently, and given our lead therapy’s potential, we plan to develop AO-176 broadly. Backed by preclinical research and encouraging early clinical tolerability and activity, we are advancing AO-176 in Phase 1/2 clinical trials for patients with select solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
AO-176 is an IgG2 CD47 targeted antibody, which blocks the “don’t eat me” signal enabled by CD47’s interaction with SIRPa and induces phagocytosis. In addition;
- AO-176 exhibits lower binding to normal cells in general and negligible binding to red blood cells
- AO-176 shows preferential binding to CD47 at acidic vs. physiologic pH, as seen in tumor microenvironments
- AO-176 induces programmed and immunogenic cell death
