Developing Tomorrow’s Treatments
Anaveon’s mission is to transform cytokines into life-saving treatments. The Company was founded in 2017 by experts in cutting-edge immunology, who wanted to design and develop patient treatments that benefit society.
This remains our vision today. Anaveon is a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing novel treatments for diseases with high unmet needs. The team has the skills to make this vision a reality: we are committed to transforming immunological insights into life-saving therapies.
Others share our vision, and investors have backed Anaveon with funding of more than 36 million CHF (€34 million).
Since 2017, Anaveon has grown in size and strength.

Quick Facts
- ANV419 is a fusion protein of
IL-2 with ananti-IL-2 antibody - In vitro and in vivo, ANV419 selectively signals through the IL-2Rβ/γ and promotes the expansion of both NK and CD8+ T cells but not Tregs
- ANV419 is currently in first human studies to determine the optimal dose for safety and efficacy
- Development in multiple cancer indications are planned to be initiated in 2022
Competitive Advantage
ANV419 has already displayed exceptional safety in early clinical studies and non-human primates. It is selective by design: ANV419 only promotes the function of CD8+ T cells and NK cells as immune effector cells while sparing regulatory T cells. Therefore, it is a potential treatment for a range of cancer types.
