Overview
Company Summary
LAVA Therapeutics N.V. (LVTX) is a company operating in the biotechnology sector. It specializes in the development of innovative immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer.
LAVA Therapeutics focuses on a unique approach known as Bispecific Gamma-Delta T-cell Engagers (GADGETs), which are designed to harness the power of the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. The company's technology is rooted in the biology of gamma-delta T-cells, a subset of immune cells that possess potent tumor-killing capabilities.
By engineering GADGETs, LAVA Therapeutics aims to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapies by redirecting gamma-delta T-cells towards cancer cells. These therapeutics have the potential to overcome limitations faced by traditional treatments and deliver more precise, targeted, and potent anti-cancer effects.
LAVA Therapeutics' innovative pipeline includes multiple candidates in preclinical and clinical development. The company's lead product candidate, LAVA-051, is being evaluated in a phase 1/2a clinical trial in patients with solid tumors. It is designed to target a specific protein found on the surface of several types of cancer cells, enabling the activated T-cells to selectively kill these cancer cells.
Through strategic collaborations and partnerships, LAVA Therapeutics leverages its expertise to accelerate the development of its therapeutic candidates. The ultimate goal of the company is to improve patient outcomes and contribute to advancements in cancer treatment through its unique immunotherapy platforms.
