Company Description
Bicycle Therapeuticsis a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing a novel class of medicines, referred to as Bicyclemolecules, for diseases that are underserved by existing therapeutics. Bicycle molecules are fully synthetic short peptides constrained with small molecule scaffolds to form two loops that stabilize their structural geometry. This constraint facilitates target binding with high affinity and selectivity, making Bicycle molecules attractive candidates for drug development. The company is evaluating zelenectide pevedotin (formerly BT8009), a BicycleDrug Conjugate (BDC) targeting Nectin-4, a well-validated tumor antigen; BT5528, a BDC molecule targeting EphA2, a historically undruggable target; and BT7480, a Bicycle Tumor-Targeted Immune Cell Agonist(Bicycle TICA) targeting Nectin-4 and agonizing CD137, in company-sponsored clinical trials. Additionally, the company is developing BicycleRadioconjugates (BRC) for radiopharmaceutical use and, through various partnerships, is exploring the use of Bicycletechnology to develop therapies for diseases beyond oncology.
