About Avacta Group plc - www.avacta.com (http://www.avacta.com/)

 

Avacta Group plc is a life sciences company working to improve people's health
and well-being through innovative oncology drugs and powerful diagnostics.
Operating through two divisions, Diagnostics and Therapeutics, the Group's
mission is to provide professionals and consumers with solutions that improve
healthcare, fitness and well-being.

 

Avacta's Therapeutics Division, a clinical stage oncology drug innovator, is
building a wholly owned pipeline of novel Affimer(®) immunotherapies and
pre|CISION™ tumour targeted chemotherapies. This approach is designed to
address the lack of a durable response to current cancer immunotherapies
experienced by most patients and reduce the severe systemic toxicities caused
by chemotherapies. There are five programmes in the pipeline as well as
several global research collaborations and licensing partnerships. Avacta's
lead programme, AVA6000, is a pre|CISION™ tumour-targeted form of the
established chemotherapy doxorubicin. AVA6000 is in Phase I clinical trials in
patients with locally advanced or metastatic selected solid tumours.

 

The Affimer(®) platform is an alternative to antibodies that has been
designed to address many of the drawbacks of antibodies which, despite their
shortcomings, currently dominate the immuno-diagnostics and
immuno-therapeutics markets.

 

The pre|CISION™ tumour targeting platform can be used to modify a
chemotherapy in order to selectively release the active drug in tumour tissue
thereby reducing the systemic exposure that causes damage to healthy tissues.
pre|CISION™ modified chemotherapies are designed to reduce the side effects
and improve the overall safety and therapeutic potential of these powerful
anti-cancer treatments.

 

Avacta's Diagnostics Division develops and supplies a broad range of
in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) solutions. The Division is growing rapidly through
an M&A strategy to deliver a global-scale IVD business providing
market-leading solutions for healthcare professionals and consumers to inform
treatment and monitor health and well-being. In October 2022, Avacta acquired
Launch Diagnostics which serves the hospital pathology laboratory market in
the UK and Europe. In May 2023, Avacta acquired Coris Bioconcept a
Belgium-based lateral flow test developer and manufacturer adding a broad
range of marketed professional-use rapid tests into the Diagnostics
Division. Avacta Diagnostic's research and development centre in Wetherby, UK
uses its proprietary Affimer(®) platform to differentiate immunodiagnostic
products to provide market-leading performance.
