AnaptysBio is a clinical-stage antibody development company advancing therapeutic antibody product candidates focused on unmet medical needs in inflammation. We develop our product candidates to address emerging biological targets using our proprietary antibody discovery technology platform, which is based upon a breakthrough understanding of the natural process of antibody generation, known as somatic hypermutation, or SHM, and replicates this natural process of antibody generation in vitro. Our strategy is to advance the development and commercialization of our proprietary product candidates, and for certain programs, establish partnerships with leading biopharmaceutical companies where we retain certain development and commercialization rights in the United States.
Our wholly-owned product pipeline includes ANB020 and ANB019, which are being developed to treat severe inflammatory disorders with unmet medical need. We are advancing our ANB020 product candidate, an antibody that inhibits the activity of interleukin-33, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe adult atopic dermatitis, severe adult peanut allergy and severe adult eosinophilic asthma.
In addition, we are developing our ANB019 product candidate, an antibody that inhibits the interleukin-36 receptor, for the treatment of rare inflammatory diseases called generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) and palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPP).
Our company is led by a strong management team with a proven track record of successfully growing biotechnology companies with deep experience in antibody discovery and development, collaborations, operations and corporate finance.
Additionally, multiple AnaptysBio-generated antibodies have entered the clinic under our immuno-oncology-focused collaboration with TESARO and inflammation-focused collaboration with Celgene.
Advancing our lead wholly-owned programs for the treatment of severe inflammatory disease
We plan to develop our proprietary anti-IL-33 antibody (ANB020) for the treatment of severe adult asthma and severe adult peanut allergy. In addition, we intend to develop our anti-IL-36R antibody (ANB019) for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) and palmo-plantar pustular psoriasis (PPP).
Identifying emerging target biology opportunities in inflammation
We intend to remain at the forefront of discovery and development of new therapeutic opportunities in inflammation by understanding and translating biological breakthroughs into first-in-class therapeutic antibodies. Our approach includes assessment of human genetics and tissue pathology to understand the relevance of emerging targets to patients with unmet medical needs. We plan to leverage this knowledge to create new product candidates and position our current and future programs for rapid clinical proof-of-concept achievement.
Expanding our proprietary pipeline by generating new antibody product candidates using our technology platform
Using our proprietary antibody generation platform, we are able to rapidly develop novel therapeutic antibodies against emerging targets. Our goal is to advance multiple additional wholly-owned new therapeutic antibody program to IND submission.
Retaining rights to strategic products in key commercial markets
We intend to retain ownership and control of our pipeline programs to key inflection points. We may build sales and marketing capabilities in selected specialty markets that we believe can be served with a focused commercial organization. For certain programs, we plan to seek strategic collaborations that provide us with funding, infrastructure and marketing resources to advance through development and commercialization.
