Company About
Avalo Therapeutics, Inc. is a precision medicine company in the clinical development phase, dedicated to identifying, advancing, and marketing specialized treatments for patients experiencing critical unmet medical needs across the fields of immunology, immuno-oncology, and rare genetic disorders. Among its key pipeline assets is AVTX-002, a fully human monoclonal antibody designed to inhibit LIGHT. This drug is currently undergoing Phase II clinical trials for non-eosinophilic asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases, specifically moderate to severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Furthermore, AVTX-002 is also being investigated in Phase III for its potential to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by COVID-19. The company is also advancing AVTX-007, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting IL-18, which is progressing through Phase I clinical studies for Still's disease, encompassing both adult-onset Still's disease and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Avalo's late-stage pipeline includes two products addressing rare genetic conditions, both in Phase III clinical trials: AVTX-801, a D-galactose substrate replacement therapy for phosphoglucomutase 1 deficiency (PGM1), also known as PGM1-CDG; and AVTX-803, an L-fucose substrate replacement therapy intended for LADII, medically referred to as SLC35C1-CDG. Established in 2011, the corporation initially operated as Cerecor Inc. before rebranding as Avalo Therapeutics, Inc. in August 2021. Its main operations are situated in Rockville, Maryland.
