LONDON and PHILADELPHIA – March 26, 2025 – Avacta Therapeutics (AIM: AVCT), a life sciences company developing next generation peptide drug conjugates (PDC) targeting powerful anti-tumor payloads directly to the tumor, today announced that the Company will have three presentations at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting from April 25-30, 2025 in Chicago, IL.
The poster presentations will feature data from the Company’s proprietary pre|CISION® platform and pipeline of next generation peptide drug conjugates (PDCs), including AVA6000, a PDC consisting of doxorubicin conjugated with a peptide moiety that is specifically cleaved by FAP in the tumor microenvironment via a pharmacokinetics and clinical presentation, and preclinical pharmacology highlights for AVA6103, a PDC comprised of the pre|CISION® peptide linked to exatecan. The third presentation will describe detailed analysis of the target fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα), the protease that forms the basis of the pre|CISION® platform.
Details for Avacta’s poster presentations are below and can be found on the AACR website:
