About APTN-101 BRiTE Therapeutic
Adaptin Bio’s proprietary brain bispecific T cell engager, APTN-101, leverages the enhanced “hitchhiking” capabilities of manipulated immune cells to deliver therapeutic agents directly to brain tumors. The novel approach has demonstrated high specificity for EGFRvIII-expressing glioma cells, dose-responsive efficacy against diverse patient-derived glioma cell lines, and a favorable safety profile. By manipulating the immune system either in vivo or ex vivo, BRiTE aims to overcome traditional treatment barriers and offer a promising new therapeutic option for patients with intracerebral malignancies.
