About Elthera
Elthera AG is developing antibodies against the novel target L1CAM, an adhesion molecule whose expression is strongly correlated with an aggressive tumor phenotype and poor prognosis in various types of cancer. Inhibition of L1CAM targets many mechanisms of tumor progression such as resistance to chemotherapy, escape from immunological control, formation of new blood vessels, tumor growth and metastases formation. The therapy will be developed using the established approach of humanized antibodies, thus allowing fast development into clinical studies without the potential risk of other formats. By combining targeted anti-L1CAM therapy with companion diagnostics, Elthera AG is aiming at providing new personalized treatment options for patients with the most aggressive malignancies.

Topic world Antibodies
Antibodies are specialized molecules of our immune system that can specifically recognize and neutralize pathogens or foreign substances. Antibody research in biotech and pharma has recognized this natural defense potential and is working intensively to make it therapeutically useful. From monoclonal antibodies used against cancer or autoimmune diseases to antibody-drug conjugates that specifically transport drugs to disease cells - the possibilities are enormous
