Janux Therapeutics

Janux Therapeutics, Inc. operates a preclinical stage biopharmaceutical company which engages in developing therapeutics based on the Tumor Activated T Cell Engager platform technology. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California and currently employs 109 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2021-06-11. The company has developed two bispecific platforms: Tumor Activated T Cell Engagers (TRACTr) and Tumor Activated Immunomodulators (TRACIr). The TRACTr platform produces T cell engagers (TCEs) with a tumor antigen-binding domain and a CD3 T cell binding domain, while the TRACIr platform produces bispecifics with a tumor antigen-binding domain and a costimulatory CD28 binding domain. Its clinical candidates include JANX007 and JANX008. JANX007 is a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA-TRACTr) designed to target PSMA, a protein expressed in prostate cancer tumors and the vasculature of other tumors. JANX008 is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR-TRACTr), being studied for the treatment of multiple solid cancers, including colorectal cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma.
