Alentis Therapeutics

Switzerland isn’t just mountains and lakes, it’s also biotech! ⛰️ Last year Swiss biotech raised over $2 billion with both public and private companies contributing. Noema Pharma and Alentis Therapeutics completed the most notable financing rounds, each securing over $100 million. 💸 With companies contributing to cancer research, gene and cell therapy, and also the biology of aging, Switzerland’s biotech ecosystem is very mature. 🧑🔬 In this article, we focus on 18 biotechs based in Switzerland! ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/d_YZ2_xz #Swissbiotech #biotechinnovation #biotechfunding #genetherapy #celltherapy #biotechecosystem #biotechstartups Araris Biotech AG | CDR-Life Inc. | CUTISS AG | Endogena Therapeutics, Inc. | Engimmune Therapeutics | FoRx Therapeutics | GlycoEra AG | HAYA Therapeutics | ImmunOs Therapeutics AG | iOnctura | MUVON Therapeutics AG | NewBiologix | Nouscom | STALICLA | Synendos Therapeutics AG | TOLREMO therapeutics | Swiss Biotech Association | Switzerland Global Enterprise | Innosuisse | Biopôle Lausanne | Basel Area Business & Innovation | BioAlps - Swiss Health Valley | Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN)

We are proud to announce that our Chief Medical Officer, Luigi Manenti, will be presenting at Venrock’s 8th Annual European Investor Tour from July 9-11 in London, UK. He will be joined by our founder, Thomas Baumert, who discovered the anti-Claudin-1 antibody, the foundation of our pipeline programs targeting cancer and fibrosis. #AlentisTherapeutics #Biotech #London

Team Alentis is participating in the Leerink Partners Biopharma Private Company Connect event being held virtually June 25 and 26. They´ll be highlighting our pipeline of first-in-class Claudin-1 targeting mAbs and ADCs in oncology and organ fibrosis. #AlentisTherapeutics #Biotech #Biopharma

The FDA has granted lixudebart (ALE.F02) Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). This first-in-class monoclonal antibody is in development for liver, lung and kidney fibrosis and this designation underscores the urgent medical need for an effective IPF treatment. Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/eNXS-TZv   Prof. Steven Nathan said, “IPF patients do not have transformative treatment options and often experience tolerability challenges with the current standard of care drugs. Alentis is doing important work on developing lixudebart as a treatment targeting the root causes of disease. This molecule has shown a very favorable safety profile in Phase 1, and I would be thrilled to see lixudebart tested in IPF patients in the future.”   #AlentisTherapeutics #Fibrosis #FDA #RareDisease #IPF

Swiss Biotech is booming! 2023 was an exceptional year, not just for Alentis but for the entire Swiss Biotech industry. Could 2024 be even better?

Congratulations to Dr. Delbet for his great presentation "Novel therapeutic for crescentic glomerulonephritis through targeting CLDN1 in parietal epithelial cells" awarded as Top 10 Abstracts at #ERA24. Thank you Pierre-Louis Tharaux and Olivia Lenoir for this great Collaboration with Alentis Therapeutics. Proud and happy to be part of it.

It is International Vasculitis Day! Today we shine a light on #vasculitis and in particular ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Vasculitis is used to describe a family of nearly 20 rare autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels which can damage vital organs. In the majority of AAV cases the kidneys are affected, and this often leads to significant or total loss of kidney function. At Alentis we are determined to develop lixudebart (ALE.F02) an investigational treatment to recover kidney function in AAV patients.

Today we announced two presentations at the European Renal Association (ERA) and American Thoracic Society (ATS) conferences this May. The outstanding work performed by the research groups at @KULeuven and @Inserm show that #CLDN1 plays a key role in the early pathogenesis of #fibrosis. It further validates CLDN1 as a therapeutic target across fibrotic indications, in this case #IPF and crescentic #glomerulonephritis in ANCA-associated vasculitis.
