Our Technology

Immunotherapy involves harnessing the body's immune system to identify and kill cancer cells in the same way pathogens are identifled and targeted. The success of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in cancer immunotherapy demonstrated that patients are capable of generating anti-tumor T-cells. This proved that the cure for cancer can be found inside your body: through your immune system. Within the next five years, the market for immune checkpoint inhibitors is expected to grow to $30-40 billion. However, only 20-30% of patients have been found to successfully respond to current therapies. There is an increasing need to develop stronger therapeutic candidates to fully tap into this market.

TTCyto (TIL-Targeted-Cytokine) Platform

TTCyto is lmmunowake's proprietary platform focused on developing safe, next-generaion immunocyntokines. Our goal is to develop immune agonists capable of overcoming inhibitory signals. Naturally, the immune systems tightly regulates between the "gas pedal" and "breaks" through a variety of mechanisms, including cytokines and signaling molecules. Agonist-based drugs can throw off this delicate balance by adding too much "gas" and induce significant systemic toxicity. Therefore, the primary barrier for antagonists must overcome is must toxicity. The ideal agonist should activate inside the tumor microenvironment, but not the systemic immune system.

Reduced Toxicity
Our cytokines are designed to activate exclusively inside tumor while reducing off-target activity in healthy tissues.
Cis-delivery of Cytokines
Utilizes antibody binding to deliver cytokines to target cells, allowing for high specificity towards tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.
Plug-and-Play Technology
Our platform supports a diverse array of cytokines and targets, enabling broad therapeutic application.
