Acrivon Therapeutics
Acrivon Therapeutics uses a protein-activity test to pick the patients most likely to respond to its cancer drugs. Its lead drug blocks DNA damage checkpoint proteins and is being tested in womb and ovarian cancer.
Overview
Acrivon Therapeutics is a Watertown, Massachusetts clinical-stage company that pairs its AP3 (Acrivon Predictive Precision Proteomics) phosphoproteomics platform with drug candidates targeting DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation. Its lead programme, ACR-368 (prexasertib, in-licensed from Lilly), is a CHK1/CHK2 inhibitor with single-agent activity including complete responses in platinum-resistant ovarian and squamous cell cancers; the company uses its OncoSignature assay to select patients, holds FDA Fast Track designation for OncoSignature-selected endometrial and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, and Breakthrough Device designations for the assay. ACR-2316, a dual WEE1/PKMYT1 inhibitor, is in the clinic, and ACR-6840 targets CDK11 in IND-enabling studies. Acrivon completed its Nasdaq IPO in November 2022.
