The firm is developing proprietary antibody-based therapeutics to treat multiple human diseases. Its pipeline of novel product candidates is designed to target multiple critical biological pathways required for an effective anti-tumor response.

Its second program, CTX-471, is an agonistic antibody targeting a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9 (TNFRSF9), also known as CD-137, a co-stimulatory receptor which is mostly expressed on activated, but not on resting T-cells and NK cells. Its third program, CTX-8371, is a bispecific antibody targeting the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), an inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor, and its ligand PD-L1, two validated immune-oncology targets.
