Avalo Therapeutics Expands Pipeline with AVTX-010, A Long-Acting Next-Generation Anti-Il-1? Antibody Avalo Therapeutics announced the advancement of AVTX-010, a long-acting next-generation anti-IL-1ß monoclonal antibody (mAb) with the potential for development in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) as well as additional inflammatory disorders. AVTX-010 is an engineered anti-IL-1ß mAb designed to extend dosing intervals and build upon the differentiated profile established by abdakibart. AVTX-010 also has the potential to strengthen Avalo’s intellectual property position. The Company expects to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for AVTX-010 in the first half of 2027. Positive topline data was recently reported for abdakibart in a Phase 2 clinical trial in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). In addition to HS, we’re exploring additional opportunities to make an impact in prevalent indications that have significant remaining unmet needs. The company is also advancing AVTX-010, an engineered anti-IL-1ß mAb designed to extend dosing intervals and build upon the differentiated profile established by abdakibart. Abdakibart is a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG4) that binds to interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) with high affinity and neutralizes its activity. IL-1ß is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a central role in the pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases. It activates immune cells that generate proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, TNF-a, and IL-17. Dysregulated IL-1ß signaling is a major driver of inflammation, contributing to the progression of autoimmune disorders. IL-1ß inhibition has proven effective in multiple immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
