With an FDA IND clearance, the firm will test IKS014 as an alternative for HER2-positive solid tumor patients in the US who have relapsed on other therapies.

The firms are planning two clinical trials of the anti-CTLA-4 agent muzastotug in colorectal cancer and in solid tumors.

As part of the deal, AbbVie will acquire Capstan's targeted LNP platform technology and its lead candidate for B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.

The firm is advancing its AI-driven multi-modal digital pathology platform as a tool for guiding clinical trial design and patient identification.
