Why Autoimmune Disease Is Biotech’s Next Big Frontier

About this Event

There’s no denying that immunology and inflammation is one of the hottest sectors in biotech today. In the past 2 years, big pharma companies have snapped up five smaller biotech firms focused on autoimmune diseases and I&I to the tune of $9.1B. This surge is driving what has been called the “third wave of innovation” in the sector.

Autoimmunity BioSolutions (ABS) is taking a revolutionary approach to treating autoimmune disease that’s rooted in precision medicine, rather than broad immunosuppression.

Today, 30–50% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, don’t respond to the current standard of care. The common thread among these patients is an elevated soluble IL-7 receptor (sIL7R).

ABS has developed a proprietary biomarker platform that identifies likely non-responders and enables a precision, “immuno-corrective” approach designed to fix the underlying biological driver. The treatment is based around a proprietary monoclonal antibody that targets sIL7R and can turn patients who don’t respond to treatments like Humira and Xeljanz into those who do.

ABS therapies are designed to work in combination with existing standards of care, improving response rates without increasing immunosuppression risk, a key limitation in current treatments.

Watch our Fireside Chat with ABS CEO, Eugene Williams, to learn how the company plans to improve the lives of the estimated 25 million people with Autoimmune diseases who currently don’t respond to treatment.
