Apogee Therapeutics is a biotechnology company seeking to develop differentiated biologics for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other inflammatory and immune (I&I) diseases with high unmet need.

Our philosophy is simple.

Our goal is to discover and develop new differentiated therapies for a range of I&I indications. We aim to accomplish this goal by focusing on known biologic drivers of disease and utilizing advanced antibody engineering to develop product candidates with optimized properties that have the potential to overcome limitations of existing therapies. We believe our approach will enable us to develop a portfolio of therapies that are differentiated compared to the currently available standards of care and address unmet medical needs for I&I indications.

Improving treatment options for people with atopic dermatitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Our initial focus is atopic dermatitis (AD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

AD is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that is estimated to affect 40 million adults and 18 million children in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom. Despite recent advancements in treatment, a significant number of people living with AD continue to suffer from active disease. Today’s treatments are associated with many challenges, including a high frequency of injections that may lead to poor compliance.

COPD is a progressive respiratory disease that is estimated to affect approximately 10% of the global population 40 years of age and older. Despite recent advancements in COPD treatment, a significant number of people continue to suffer and die from the disease.

Our antibody programs are designed to overcome limitations of existing therapies by leveraging well-established mechanisms and incorporating advanced antibody engineering to optimize half-life and other properties. Based on our preclinical studies, we believe APG777 can be dosed either every two or every three months in maintenance, which, if our clinical trials are successful, would represent a significant improvement compared to currently available antibodies that are dosed every two to four weeks. We believe each of our programs has potential for broad application across multiple I&I indications.

Pending final data from our Phase 1 trial of APG777 in healthy volunteers, we may initiate a Phase 2 trial in asthma and expect to further evaluate opportunities to develop APG777 for other I&I indications, including alopecia areata, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, chronic spontaneous urticaria, eosinophilic esophagitis and prurigo nodularis.
