Our Science

The golden age of bispecific antibodies is here.

With the right tuning and targeting, bispecific antibodies can effectively treat solid tumors.

Optimizing the Therapeutic Window

Over the past decade, immune-engaging bispecific antibodies have transformed the treatment of blood cancers. However, the design principles that make these bispecific antibodies effective in hematologic malignancies have not translated successfully to solid tumors.

Rondo's Solution

To achieve efficacy without dose-limiting toxicities, Rondo’s immune-engaging bispecific antibodies are designed to target solid tumors through precisely tuned immune-activating arms and tumor-localized activity. Our therapeutics aim to deliver durable responses while giving clinicians the flexibility to tailor dosing strategies and combination regimens to achieve the best outcomes for patients.

Rapid Discovery Approach

Our NGS-based antibody discovery platform enables the rapid generation of diverse binding arm libraries. A fixed light-chain format allows flexible pairing of immune effector and tumor-targeting arms, while our proprietary functional and developability screens identify molecules with the desired potency range and optimal clinical properties.
