Avacta Plc is a clinical-stage oncology drug company headquartered in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The company was founded in 2002 and is focused on developing cancer immunotherapies and diagnostics based on its Affimer and prelCISION platforms.
Affimer is a class of biotherapeutic based on a naturally occurring human protein. Affimers are smaller and more stable than antibodies, which makes them easier to manufacture and more cost-effective. Avacta is developing a number of Affimer-based cancer immunotherapies, including AVCT-0001, AVCT-0002, and AVCT-0003.
prelCISION is a platform for developing targeted cancer diagnostics. prelCISION uses a combination of Affimers and nanoparticles to deliver a diagnostic agent to a tumor. Avacta is developing a number of prelCISION-based cancer diagnostics, including AVCT-0004 and AVCT-0005.
Avacta has a number of clinical trials underway, including a Phase 1/2 trial of AVCT-0001 in patients with advanced solid tumors, a Phase 1 trial of AVCT-0002 in patients with advanced melanoma, and a Phase 1 trial of AVCT-0003 in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Avacta is also developing a number of preclinical programs.
Avacta is a privately held company. The company's investors include the Wellcome Trust, the British Business Bank, and the Scottish Enterprise.
