Diabetic vasculopathies
Advancing antibody targets to treat diabetic retinopathy
in partnership with Abcellera
Biologics.

Our Mission

Angios aims to prevent or treat leading causes of diabetes related blindness.  

About diabetes-related blindness: a case of diabetic vasculopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading global causes for blindness in patients aged over 50.
Diabetes causes functional impairment of blood vessels, negatively affecting multiple organs. In the eye, the blood vessels that support the retina with oxygen start to leak fluids, causing two related diseases – diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.

In severe cases, the fluid leakage distorts vision and can even lead to complete blindness.

The current situation

The standard of care for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema is insufficient.
Current treatments only delay disease progression in a portion of all patients. They also require maintaining a strict monthly / bi-monthly treatment schedule, resulting in low compliance 

At Angios we aim to identify therapeutics that act on a broader patient population and lead to amore sustainable treatment response.

Our approach

We are developing novel antibodies for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema together with our partner
AbCellera Biologics (NASDAQ: ABCL)
A global leader in antibody drug development. This partnership will accelerate our efforts of bringing novel treatments for diabetes-related blindness to the clinic.
