About

A First-in-Class Precision Oncology Platform: RAGE-Targeted ADC Therapy for Colorectal and Broader Solid Tumour Indications. Viamab Therapeutics is pursuing accelerated clinical development of the world's first RAGE-targeted antibody–drug conjugate, targeting first-in-class trial entry in colorectal cancer as our lead indication, with broader pan-cancer potential across RAGE-expressing tumour types.

Our mission is to bring genuinely novel treatment options to patients with limited or no effective alternatives — where the science is compelling and the unmet need is greatest.

1.9 million people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer globally each year — rising to 3.2 million by 2040. Just under half will develop advanced disease, where 5-year survival falls below 20%, existing third-line options deliver response rates of just 1–7%, and ~95% of patients have no ADC options. This represents a profound unmet need for effective targeted treatment.RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products) expression increases progressively with colorectal cancer stage, with low expression observed in early-stage tumours (19% in stage II disease) and substantially higher expression in advanced stages, reaching 81% in stage III and 100% in stage IV tumours.
