Applied BioMath, LLC Announces Collaboration with Revitope for Mechanistic PK/PD Modeling in Solid Tumors

Applied BioMath (www.appliedbiomath.com), the industry-leader in applying mechanistic modeling, simulation, and analysis to de-risk and accelerate drug research and development, today announced a collaboration with Revitope for an in-vitro and human mechanistic PK/PD modeling of Revitope's bispecific T Cell Engaging Antibody Circuits (TEAC) targeting solid tumors.  "TEAC are designed to increase tumor specificity and launch an immune activation only when bound to the cancer cell surface. This innovative engineering approach has the potential to unleash potent immune responses that are focused entirely on the tumor," said Werner Meier, CSO and acting CEO of Revitope Oncology.  "Our goal in this collaboration is to leverage Applied BioMath's modeling and analyses capabilities to identify TEAC drug properties that drive the potential for a better therapeutic index and ideally more efficacy in immuno-oncology."

Applied BioMath employs a rigorous fit-for-purpose model development process, referred to as Model-Aided Drug Invention (MADI), which aims to quantitatively integrate knowledge about therapeutics with an understanding of its mechanism of action in the context of human disease mechanisms.  Their MADI approach employs proprietary algorithms and software that were designed specifically for mechanistic PK/PD modeling.  "Our mechanistic modeling approach allows our collaborators to assess the feasibility of their therapeutic much more quickly than if they were to rely on experiments alone," said Dr. John Burke, PhD, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Applied BioMath.  "They'll be able to quickly answer strategic questions about the ideal properties for their therapeutic concept and help accelerate development in Lead Generation and by prioritizing experiments, thus helping them get into the clinical faster and for less money with potentially a BIC therapeutic, giving themselves a much higher chance of clinical success and maximizing R&D ROI."

About Applied BioMath

Founded in 2013, Applied BioMath uses mathematical modeling and simulation to provide quantitative and predictive guidance to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to help accelerate and de-risk drug research and development.  Their Model-Aided Drug Invention (MADI) approach employs proprietary algorithms and software to support groups worldwide in decision-making from early research through clinical trials.  The Applied BioMath team leverages their decades of expertise in biology, mathematical modeling and analysis, high-performance computing, and industry experience to help groups better understand their candidate, its best-in-class parameters, competitive advantages, patients, and the best path forward into and in the clinic.   For more information about Applied BioMath and its services, visit www.appliedbiomath.com.

About Revitope

Revitope is a biotechnology company developing conditionally activated bispecific antibody therapeutics to achieve highly targeted, localized immune responses that are focused entirely on the tumor cell. The company's programmable antibody circuits are designed to focus immune activation to the target cell surface while expanding the antigenic targeting space on solid tumors to widen the therapeutic index in immune-oncology. Revitope is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Please visit www.revitope.com.
