XENOTHERA is a clinical stage biotech at the top of innovation, which creates new therapeutic modes in numerous domains. Our patented technological platform is built on a double expertise of immunology and genetic engineering. It develops innovative approaches in immunotherapy by marketing Glyco-Humanized Polyclonal Antibodies (GH-pAb). Our antibodies are engineered to display high therapeutic properties. XENOTHERA’s platform ensures short-time development thanks to our mastery of the entire process, from animal genetics, choice of the immunogen, selection and purification of antibodies, and access to market authorization in accelerated timescale. Within less than 5 years, XENOTHERA has brought to clinic its first product LIS1, a novel induction treatment in Solid Organ Transplantation, addressing a $1Bn market. It has also established in vivo Proof-of-Concept in Immuno-Oncology and Multi-Drug Resistant infections.Pipeline
