HCW Biologics Inc. (symbol: HCWB) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing innovative immunotherapies. The company's primary focus is on extending the health span by addressing chronic, low-grade inflammation and its link to age-related diseases. Leveraging its extensive expertise in immunology, HCW Biologics is at the forefront of biopharmaceutical advancements.
HCW Biologics has pioneered the TOBI discovery platform, a novel Tissue factor-based fusion discovery platform. This groundbreaking approach facilitates the design of category-defining immunotherapeutic drugs. The company has identified two key product candidates: HCW9218 and HCW9302.
HCW9218 is a bifunctional immunotherapeutic designed to neutralize transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and stimulate immune cells, potentially offering transformative benefits in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Currently, HCW9218 is under investigation in a Company-sponsored Phase 1b/2 clinical trial for advanced pancreatic cancer, conducted at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The study is expected to conclude in the first half of 2024, with no dose-limiting toxicity observed so far.
HCW9302 is another promising candidate designed to activate and expand regulatory T cells, which play a crucial role in deactivating inflammasomes. This mechanism could be pivotal in addressing chronic inflammation and related diseases.
In recent news, HCW Biologics has been granted methods of use claims for administering HCW9218 to treat cancer, emphasizing the potential of this candidate to kill or reduce the number of senescent cells in patients with cancer.
Under the leadership of Dr. Hing C. Wong, Founder and CEO, the company is committed to advancing its clinical development and intellectual property programs. Future milestones include the continuation of clinical trials and further validation of their preliminary human data readout, which has shown promising results in line with preclinical animal studies.
