Selective Antibody Removal

Overcoming Antibody Barriers in Modern Therapeutics

Immune responses against drugs and vectors limit the efficacy and reach of biotherapeutics. Ablevia’s injectable pre-treatment clears harmful antibodies, unlocking the full potential of advanced therapies and targeted drug delivery.

Overview

Removing harmful anti-drug and anti-vector antibodies

By clearing antibodies against biotherapeutics and delivery systems, we aim to restore drug function, enable repeat dosing, and open lifechanging treatments to patients who are currently excluded due to preexisting anti-drug immunity.

The Challenge

When Antibodies Limit Treatment

A common immunogenicity issue for modern and emerging biotherapeutics across oncology, rare and metabolic diseases, as well as gene and RNA therapies.

Pre-existing and treatment-emergent anti-drug and anti–delivery platform antibodies (including anti-PEG) limit patient eligibility, reduce exposure and pharmacodynamic response, and preclude redosing due to accelerated clearance and neutralization.

Technology

Selective Antibody Depletion Approach

Ablevia’s injectable Selective Antibody Depletion Compounds (SADCs) act as molecular decoys that remove circulating anti-drug antibodies, before treatment.

Impact

Selective antibody removal that unlocks the full value of advanced therapies

Ablevia’s rapid, immune-sparing pre-treatment removes anti-drug and anti-vector antibodies, restoring drug pharmacokinetics and delivery so therapies can work as intended. This expands patient eligibility and enables safer repeat dosing with more durable treatment value.

How we enable

Enabling therapies through selective antibody removal

Ablevia provides a selective antibody removal pre-treatment platform, built on our Selective Antibody Depletion Compounds (SADCs), for partners developing advanced biologics and delivery systems.

Our lead SADC program rapidly removes anti-PEG antibodies before dosing, restoring the performance of PEGylated drugs and enabling RNA and DNA delivery via PEGylated LNPs. Building on this, we are advancing nextgeneration SADCs that target protein-targeted anti-drug and anti-vector antibodies, guided by deep profiling of ADA epitopes to systematically expand eligible patient populations.
