Marengo Therapeutics, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, makes antibodies that bind part of the T-cell receptor to activate selected subsets of a patient's T cells. Its lead, invikafusp alfa, is in trials in tumours with a high mutational burden that have stopped responding to checkpoint drugs, and with an antibody-drug conjugate in breast cancer.
Marengo Therapeutics is a clinical-stage Cambridge, Massachusetts company developing TCR-targeting antibodies that selectively modulate T-cell subsets. Its STAR platform (precision T-cell agonist) bispecifics include invikafusp alfa, in clinical development as monotherapy in immune checkpoint blockade-resistant, tumour mutational burden-high tumours (START-001) and in an antibody-drug conjugate combination in breast cancer (START-002), plus partnered STAR programmes. The TriSTAR platform (precision T-cell engager) includes TriSTAR0701 targeting Nectin-4 for bladder and other cancers and several partnered candidates, and the MSTAR platform (precision T-cell depleter) is aimed at autoimmune disease. Marengo's news page lists Apple Tree Partners as lead investor. Financing amounts and series were not stated on fetched pages.
