AURORA BIO

Aurora Bio is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a platform of immunotherapies and an imaging diagnostic for multiple systemic amyloid diseases, including AL, ATTR and ALECT2 amyloidosis. The diagnostic imaging agent is currently in Phase 1 with a planned Ph 3 to potentially initiate in 2020. The company also has 2 pre-clinical stage therapeutic programs being developed for a broad range of systemic amyloid diseases. The immunotherapies consist of a peptide-fusion protein as w... ell as cell therapy utilizing engineered macrophages (CAR-M) to remove amyloid. Currently, there are no approved treatments for 29 out of 30 systemic amyloid diseases While approved therapies in ATTR, and those in development for AL an ATTR, target the pre-cursor protein of individual amyloid diseases, Aurora Bio’s goal is to develop immunotherapies that treat across all systemic amyloid diseases.More
