The startup develops customizable peptide-based biotherapeutics that utilize injectable peptide decoys to selectively remove drug-neutralizing antibodies and disease-causing autoantibodies from circulation. This technology addresses the challenge of enhancing the efficacy of biotherapeutic treatments in rare diseases with unmet clinical needs by providing pre-clinical and clinical developers with adaptable antibody-depleting compounds.

Problem
The presence of drug-neutralizing antibodies (ADAs) and disease-causing autoantibodies can significantly reduce the efficacy of biotherapeutic treatments, limiting their potential in treating rare diseases and other conditions. Current methods for addressing these unwanted antibodies are often inefficient and can have broad effects on the immune system.
Solution
Ablevia is developing a platform of customizable, peptide-based biotherapeutics called Selective Antibody Depletion Compounds (SADCs) designed to selectively remove harmful antibodies from circulation while sparing the rest of the immune system. These injectable peptide decoys are engineered to target and sequester specific unwanted antibodies, including ADAs that neutralize biologics and autoantibodies that trigger autoimmune conditions. Ablevia's technology aims to improve the effectiveness of biologic drugs, viral vectors, and replacement therapies by eliminating interfering antibodies. The SADC platform can be adapted to address a range of diseases and conditions with unmet clinical needs where unwanted antibodies pose a challenge.
Target Audience
Ablevia's primary customers are preclinical and clinical developers of biotherapeutic treatments, particularly those focused on rare diseases and conditions with unmet clinical needs where ADAs or autoantibodies limit treatment efficacy.
