The company is advancing ABC008, a first-in-class anti-KLRG1 antibody designed to deplete cytotoxic T cells that attack healthy muscle tissue in patients with inclusion body myositis (IBM), into clinical studies. IBM is a progressive and debilitating inflammatory skeletal muscle condition with no available pharmaceutical therapies. Abcuro has received FDA orphan drug designation for ABC008 in IBM. The company is also advancing ABC015, an anti-KLRG1 blocking antibody capable of reactivating inhibited cytotoxic T and NK cells in the tumor microenvironment.
