Compass Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on drugging the immune system to treat human diseases.
Compass Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, developing antibody therapeutics to treat both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Compass is leveraging its proprietary StitchMabs™ and common light-chain enabled multispecific platforms to empirically identify multispecifics and combinations of antibody therapeutics that can be advanced to the clinic. The company's lead product candidate, CTX-009, is a bispecific antibody, which inhibits both DLL4-mediated Notch signaling and VEGF-A signaling. CTX-009 has completed a Phase 1 dose escalation study and is in a Phase 1b study in combination with chemotherapy in patients with solid tumors. The company’s second product candidate, CTX-471, is a novel agonistic antibody of CD137, a co-stimulatory receptor on immune cells. It is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1b study in patients who were previously treated with PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors, and who subsequently relapsed or progressed after a period of stable disease. Compass’ third product candidate, CTX-8371, is a bispecific antibody that blocks both PD-1 and PD-L1 and is in IND-enabling studies. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
