Bi-Specific antibody drug discovery

Abveris is a Massachusetts-based company that provides industry-leading solutions for therapeutic and reagent antibody developements. We have built a strong reputation for our ability to deliver outstanding science. Based on our proprietary hyperimmune mouse models, DiversimAb mouse, and a Beacon-based single B cell screening platform, we have custom-built gene-to-antibody solutions to support development efforts for therapeutic antibodies against difficult targets such as GPCR, ion channels, glycan targets. Abveris is rapidly expanding its antibody discovery capabilities and geographical presence to work with more emerging biotech to discover therapeutics for novel targets.

Aequor discovered a new genus and several new species of marine microbes that produce “green,” non-toxic chemicals that target Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and uniquely remove biofilm in minutes and prevent biofilm formation for long periods of time. They kill the antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria and fungi alone and as "potentiators" of very low doses (sub-MIC) of otherwise ineffective antibiotics, including Penicillin, to kill the AMR "Superbug" pathogens.
Biofilm is the first resistance response of microorganisms to protect themselves against environmental stresses and is associated with most infections and diseases. Removal of biofilm by surface scraping, UV, heat, biocides and antibiotics, etc. signal to the underlying microorganisms when and how fast to build a thicker biofilm shield.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) associate biofilm with 90% of hospital-acquired infections, such as those caused by contamination on indwelling medical devices, ventilators, and water and air systems. The CDC recently reported that 20% of U.S. COVID deaths were due to these secondary infections. Additional life-threatening infections are increasingly traced to biofilm in air and water systems in institutional and commercial buildings and homes. For example, Legionnaire’s Disease, which claimed 17 lives, was traced to biofilm in a hotel’s air conditioners that became aerosolized and inhaled. It is no coincidence that every pathogen on the CDC and WHO lists of urgent threats, pandemic threats, and bioterrorist threats is a biofilm-former. Every drug-resistant “Superbug” strain is a biofilm-former and is considered incurable. Additionally, several microbial species are captures in the same biofilm, increasing the incidence of horizontal gene transfer (Li et al., 2001; Angles et al., 1993; Dunny et al., 1995) and spawning the emergence of new antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains.
There are few remedies for biofilm. Physical removal (sterilization, scraping, UV) works for a short-term (e.g., biofilm was recorded on a titanium plate within 30 seconds of sterilization). Biocides (antiseptics, disinfectants, antimicrobials, and antibiotics) are designed to kill free-floating (planktonic), actively growing microorganisms, and the dose of needed to disrupt a biofilm is approximately 1000x the concentrations that are effective against planktonic bacteria (Raffa et al., 2003), which is a dose that is lethal to humans. The overuse of biocides and antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of the AMR Superbugs – and left a cumulative and persistent environmental footprint. Natural antimicrobials, such as silver and other metals, are expensive and eventually trigger the formation of thicker biofilm, resulting in the loss of efficacy over time.

Aphios®, which means “virus-free” in Greek, is an emerging growth biotechnology company developing green enabling technology platforms for improving drug discovery and manufacturing, nanotechnology drug delivery and pathogenic drug safety in an environmentally-sustainable manner, and enhanced therapeutics for the treatment of infectious diseases, CNS disorders, cancers and supportive care.

Our lead product is Zindol® which has successfully completed a Phase 2/3 clinical trial as an adjuvant to conventional 5-HT3 anti-emetics in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Other clinical products under development are APH-0812 for HIV latency and APH-1104 for Alzheimer’s disease. We have several preclinical leads in development for prostate, breast and pancreatic cancer, cancer pain and infectious diseases.

Our lead platform is CFI™ for the manufacture of virus-free biologics such as convalescent COVID-19 plasma, human plasma proteins and monoclonal antibodies as well as viral vaccines against influenza. Our drug discover discovery platform is being harnessed to develop antiviral therapeutics against the novel coronavirus and our nanotechnology platforms are being used to improve the delivery of HIV latency and Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics.

We are raising capital to conduct pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of Zindol® for CINV to complete clinical development of Zindol and file an NDA with the FDA. In subsequent financings, which will include an IPO, we plan to raise an additional capital to commercialize Zindol® for CINV and develop other indications.
