About AM0010
Preclinical studies have shown that AM0010, a PEGylated form of recombinant human interleukin-10 (PEG-rHuIL-10), directly activates tumor specific CD8+ killer T lymphocytes. In preclinical models, these activated CD8+ killer T lymphocytes completely eradicate large tumor masses and significantly reduce metastatic disease while establishing a lasting anti-tumor immune surveillance. ARMO plans to develop this unique molecule for known indications and innovative applications including cancer. ARMO has over 53 issued and pending US and foreign patents and applications covering compositions of matter, methods of use, and methods of manufacturing of AM0010.
