ELTX vs IKNA Comparison

Elicio Therapeutics Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of cancer immunotherapies for patients with limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Its proprietary Amphiphile, or AMP, platform delivers investigational immunotherapeutics directly to the brain center of the immune system the lymph nodes. Its focus is the development of cancer immunotherapies against biologically validated but hard-to-drug targets that can be activated through lymph node trafficking. Elicio is engineering lymph node-targeted AMPlifiers, immunomodulators, adjuvants, and vaccines for an array of aggressive cancers. It has developed its cancer vaccine product candidates to target biologically validated tumor mutation drivers using known neoantigens.

Ikena Oncology Inc is a targeted oncology company developing precision therapies for patients in need that target nodes of cancer growth, spread, and therapeutic resistance in the Hippo and RAS onco-signaling network. Its targeted oncology product candidate, IK-930, is an oral small-molecule inhibitor of the transcriptional enhanced associate domain, or TEAD, a transcription factor in the Hippo signaling pathway, a known oncogenic pathway that also drives resistance to multiple targeted and chemotherapies. Its other product candidates are IK-175 and IK-595.
