About Oxford Bio Therapeutics

Oxford Biotherapeutics is a clinical‑stage biotechnology company focusing on the development of antibody therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. OBT's OGAP-verify® platform is the world's largest, cancer specific, membrane protein library, directly measuring plasma membrane protein expression in patient tumors. OGAP is used to identify novel, highly tumor specific antigens for novel first‑in‑class ADC, T-cell Engager (TCE) and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR‑T) targets.

Our lead asset, OBT
076, is an Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) in Phase 1b clinical development. Our clinical and pre‑clinical pipeline of novel biologics is balanced between internal programs, focused on ADCs and checkpoint regulators, and externally partnered programs with key innovators in oncology such as Roche, GSK and BMS.
