Achilles Therapeutics (Group)

https://www.achillestx.com

Achilles Therapeutics is a clinical stage, biopharmaceutical company developing personalised T cell therapies targeting clonal neoantigens: protein markers unique to the individual that are expressed on the surface of every cancer cell. The Company has two ongoing Phase 1/2a trials, the THETIS trial in patients with recurrent or metastatic malignant melanoma and the CHIRON trial in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Achilles uses DNA sequencing data from each patient, together with the proprietary PELEUS™ bioinformatics platform, to identify clonal neoantigens specific to that patient, and then develop personalised T cell-based therapies specifically targeting those clonal neoantigens. Achilles was founded in 2016 by lead investor Syncona Ltd and is supported by an international syndicate of life science investors including RA Capital, Forbion, Invus, Perceptive Advisors, Redmile Group, OrbiMed and Boxer Capital of Tavistock Group. *
