VERAXA Biotech (NASDAQ: VRXA) recently appointed antibody therapeutics specialist Dr. Christoph Erkel as its chief scientific officer, taking responsibility for advancing the company’s proprietary BiTAC(R) technology and broader oncology pipeline toward clinical development. The company’s lead BiTAC-TCE program uses a conditionally active, dual-targeting approach designed to selectively activate T cells against cancer cells while potentially limiting effects on healthy tissue. Recent scientific advice from Germany’s Paul-Ehrlich-Institute provided additional clarity around the program’s proposed non-clinical development strategy, while preclinical data presented at the AACR Annual Meeting showed selective activity against cells expressing both target molecules. Beyond BiTAC, VERAXA is developing bispecific antibody-drug conjugates and other engineered antibody therapies, positioning the company to pursue multiple approaches to next-generation cancer treatment.
