Aim­ing to spur the im­mune re­spons­es that check­point in­hibitors can't, Swiss biotech Num­ab earns fresh round of cash

Swiss an­ti­body play­er Num­ab saw its last raise come in at just un­der $24 mil­lion, a Se­ries B that closed in March 2020. But Thurs­day, the biotech brought in a whole new heap­ing of cash.

Num­ab se­cured a Se­ries C of 100 mil­lion CHF, or rough­ly $110.6 mil­lion, to con­tin­ue ad­vanc­ing its slate of mul­ti­spe­cif­ic of­fer­ings through pre­clin­i­cal and clin­i­cal stud­ies. Its lead can­di­date, a trispe­cif­ic that hits 4-1BB, PD-L1 and HSA, has en­tered its Phase I safe­ty stud­ies and Num­ab hopes to use Thurs­day’s funds to prep three Phase II co­horts for a proof-of-con­cept study some­time around the end of this year.
