Bicycle Therapeutics plc (symbol: BCYC) is a pioneering clinical-stage biotechnology company with a mission to transform the pharmaceutical industry through its innovative Bicycle® product platform. This revolutionary platform focuses on developing a new class of medicines known as Bicycles, which are synthetic short peptides constrained to form two loops. These loops stabilize their structural geometry, granting them superior targeting abilities and efficiency compared to existing drug conjugate modalities.

The company’s leading product candidate, BT1718, is a Bicycle Toxin Conjugate (BTC) designed to maximize tumor penetration while minimizing adverse effects on healthy tissues. Bicycles combine the beneficial properties of multiple therapeutic entities in a single modality – showcasing the affinity and selective pharmacology typical of antibodies, the rapid distribution kinetics of small molecules, and the adjustable pharmacokinetic half-life of peptides.
Bicycle Therapeutics is committed to addressing high unmet medical needs, particularly in oncology. Their proprietary IP is grounded in the groundbreaking work of scientific founders, and the company has made significant strides with their unique approach. Recent achievements include successful clinical trials and strategic partnerships aimed at advancing their robust pipeline of product candidates.
