Purple Biotech Ltd., a clinical-stage biotechnology firm based in Rehovot, Israel, is dedicated to pioneering treatments that help cancer patients, particularly in the United States, overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. Its pipeline features two primary oncology assets: CM24: A monoclonal antibody designed to block carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1). This candidate is undergoing Phase 1b/2 clinical trials, where it is being evaluated as a combination therapy with anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors for non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. NT219: A small molecule compound that targets insulin receptor substrate 1 and 2 (IRS1/2) as well as signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways.
