Dr. Manion will present an overview of Kleo’s development strategy for its pipeline of small molecule and synthetic peptide compounds that function similar to highly complex biologics, while offering multiple potential advantages. The overview will also outline Kleo’s key value drivers including the three proprietary technology platforms that drive in-house drug development and partnership opportunities, the multiple in-house and collaborative channels through which it is building its immuno-oncology pipeline, and its discovery collaboration with PeptiDream.

Kleo is well-funded to achieve multiple preclinical and early clinical milestones following the November 2018 closing of an oversubscribed $21 million Series B financing to advance its first clinical candidates through IND-enabling studies and into the clinic in 2020.
