## Description

ALX Oncology is a clinical stage biotechnology company that specializes in developing innovative immuno-oncology therapies for cancer patients. Our mission is to transform cancer treatment options by focusing on CD47 blockade. CD47 is a cell surface protein that cancer cells use as a don't eat me signal to evade the immune system. At ALX Oncology, we have developed a next-generation checkpoint inhibitor called evorpacept (ALX148) that targets CD47 with a high affinity, maximizing clinical activity while minimizing toxicities. Evorpacept is an intravenously administered fusion protein that contains two engineered high-affinity CD47 binding domains of SIRPα linked to an inactive Fc region of human immunoglobulin. It is designed to block the don't eat me signal on cancer cells, allowing the immune system to detect and attack them more effectively. Additionally, evorpacept can be combined with other anti-cancer agents to leverage immune activation and enhance its therapeutic impact. Our clinical results in multiple oncology indications have shown promising anti-tumor activity and tolerability. As a result, we believe evorpacept has the potential to become a critical component in future combination treatments for cancer. Join us in our journey to revolutionize cancer care and provide new hope to patients worldwide.
