Addressing the Needs of the Transplant Community
ABV-010 is a First-in-class treatment addressing a significant unmet need for transplant patients
-
PTLD, an aggressive lymphoma in transplant recipients, affects up to 20% of high-risk patients with a 60% two-year mortality.
Primarily driven by EBV reactivation after immunosuppression (occurs in up to 60% of recipients).
Current SoC reduces immunosuppression to control EBV, increasing the risk of graft rejection and life-threatening complications
-
ABV-010 is a potent antibody that targets a uniquely vulnerable site on the EBV entry protein.
In preclinical models, ABV-010 completely blocks EBV infection and prevents PTLD development.
By stopping PTLD before it starts, ABV-010 enables physicians to maintain immunosuppression, preserving graft integrity and transforming transplant outcomes.
-
There are more than 125,000 transplants performed each year across the US and Europe, with annual growth of about 5%.
An estimated 27,000 patients are at high risk for developing PTLD.
AbVir’s approach can help mitigate these risks with a low predicted side-effect profile.
