Drive Therapeutics, LLC United States

Drive Therapeutics is developing a novel, long acting, bispecific nucleic acid therapeutic to block the angiogenesis, inflammation, and fibrosis underlying retinal disease. Drive’s lead program is a bispecific aptamer therapeutic made up of two well validated components: a pan-specific anti-VEGF-A aptamer and an anti-Interleukin-8 (IL8) aptamer. Drive’s lead program will mitigate poor patient response to existing anti-VEGF therapy, improve outcomes and reduce patient burden. By targeting both angiogenesis and a critical immune pathway that drives both inflammation and angiogenesis, Drive’s bispecific inhibitor is the key to overcoming the limitations of VEGF monotherapy. In addition to current candidates, Drive’s aptamer therapeutic discovery platform will allow for streamlined, efficient development of new therapies to pathologically relevant ophthalmologic targets.
