OUR SCIENCE

Designed to speak
the immune system’s
own language.

APG-157 is designed to engage immune-regulatory pathways that are also influenced by endogenous metabolites, small molecules naturally produced by the body that help regulate immune activity and maintain tissue balance.

By acting upstream within the tumor immune microenvironment, APG-157 is designed to reduce immune suppression and restore coordinated antitumor immunity.

FEATURED PODCAST

Science Behind Aveta’s Immunotherapy

Conversation about Aveta’s approach to reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment.

Listen

A therapeutic design principle rooted in human biology.

01

ENDOGENOUS
IMMUNE REGULATION

Endogenous metabolites help tissues calibrate immune activity—when to activate, when to restrain and how to maintain balance.

02

UPSTREAM
CONTROL

APG-157 is designed to act within conserved regulatory pathways upstream of immune checkpoints.

03

COORDINATED
IMMUNE FUNCTION

The objective is to change the conditions that determine the emergence and persistence of productive antitumor immunity.

Change the immune state of the tumor and not simply one signal within it.

From immunosuppressive to immune-activated.

APG-157 remodels an immunosuppressive tumor immune microenvironment into an immune-activated state

Upstream signaling. Coordinated immune change.

REDUCE TUMOR-PROMOTING INFLAMMATION

APG-157 modulates NF-κB and STAT3 signaling, pathways associated with tumor-promoting inflammation and immune suppression.

REPOLARIZE MACROPHAGES

APG-157 is designed to shift tumor-associated macrophages from an immunosuppressive M2-like phenotype toward the tumoricidal M1 state.

STRENGTHEN EFFECTOR IMMUNITY

Macrophage repolarization is designed to support greater CD8+ T-cell and NK-cell activity within the tumor microenvironment.

Together, these effects are designed to move the tumor immune microenvironment
toward a more productive antitumor state.
