Lead Product in Development:
AltruBio’s molecules, ALTB-268 and ALTB-168 are PSGL-1 agonist antibodies serving as immune checkpoint enhancers (ICEs). The mechanism of action has been proven in four autoimmune and inflammatory diseases previously, including ulcerative colitis, steroid refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD), psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis. ALTB-268 is a tetravalent version of ALTB-168 and has demonstrated higher potency via the same mechanism, making it suitable for subcutaneous administration. ALTB-268 is now being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial before advancing towards clinical studies in multiple autoimmune and inflammatory disorders with the initial indiction in ulcerative colitis.
