Celldex Therapeutics
Celldex Therapeutics was founded on a fundamental scientific belief that harnessing the power of the immune system would break significant barriers in drug development. Our pipeline is comprised of therapeutic antibodies, antibody drug conjugates, immune system modulators and vaccines that we believe have a higher probability of success because they are targeted to specific patient populations with high unmet medical need whose diseases express specific markers. This has created a leading pipeline including two candidates in pivotal trials, RINTEGA® in glioblastoma and glembatumumab vedotin in triple negative breast cancer, three additional clinical candidates (varlilumab, CDX-1401 and CDX-301) and a robust preclinical engine.
