We are a group of motivated immunologists committed to delivering the power of cytokines to patients.
Founded in 2017 by leading experts in the field of immunotherapy, Anaveon is a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the development of treatments for diseases with immune system dysfunction.
Our goal is to harness the power of engineered cytokines and develop novel treatments for diseases with high unmet need.
Our approach
We are exploiting the power of cytokines to orchestrate immune responses by using protein engineering to create safe and effective treatments for a variety of serious diseases.
IL-2 Cancer Immunotherapy
Our first program going into clinical trials is ANV419, a selective interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor agonist – a type of protein that can enhance a patient’s immune system in order to target and defeat tumors.
Our Immunotherapy Pipeline
Our pipeline includes additional programs that leverage targeted cytokines for a range of immune-mediated diseases.

Anaveon presents compelling data from the Phase I/II study of ANV419 during the AACR Annual Meeting 2022
As of the March 11, 2022 data cut-off date, 16 patients in 7 dosing cohorts with different types of progressing cancer received ANV419 every 14 days. ANV419, administered intravenously over 15 minutes was exceptionally well tolerated with most patients experiencing a mild Grade 1 infusion-related reaction with chills and low-grade fever a few hours after dosing, which resolved with antipyretic treatment. No patients experienced a Grade 3 or worse drug related AE and no patients have withdrawn from study due to AEs. No dose limiting toxicities have been observed.
