Janux Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, develops therapeutics based on proprietary Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr) platform technology to treat patients suffering from cancer. The company's lead TRACTr product candidates that are in preclinical or discovery stage target prostate-specific membrane antigen, epidermal growth factor receptor, and trophoblast cell surface antigen 2. Janux Therapeutics, Inc. is also developing a Tumor Activated Immunomodulator (TRACIr) costimulatory bispecific product candidate against programmed death-ligand 1 and CD28 designed to improve the anti-tumor activity of T cells. In addition, its EGFR-TRACTr is designed to target EGFR in many cancer types with multiple approved monoclonal antibodies. The company was incorporated in 2017 and is headquartered in La Jolla, California.

Janux Therapeutics, Inc.

Janux Therapeutics is an innovative biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation therapeutics based on its proprietary Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr) platform technology to better treat patients suffering from cancer. Janux’s initial focus is on developing a novel class of T cell engagers (TCEs), and its lead product candidates are designed to target clinically validated drug targets. While TCE therapeutics have displayed potent anti-tumor activity in hematological cancers, developing TCEs to treat solid tumors have faced challenges due to the limitations of prior TCE technologies, namely (i) overactivation of the immune system leading to cytokine release syndrome, (ii) on-target, healthy tissue toxicities, and (iii) poor pharmacokinetics leading to short half-life. Janux is using its TRACTr platform technology to engineer product candidates designed to overcome these limitations. Janux is developing a broad pipeline with lead programs targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2), with all of its programs currently in the IND-enabling or discovery stage.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by taking the day to volunteer and celebrate the civil rights leader’s life and legacy. #MLKDay is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service. By volunteering to improve our communities and valuing and respecting all, we honor Dr. King and work together to create a more just and equitable society.

Congrats to Co-Founder Thomas DiRaimondo, Ph.D., on his promotion to Chief Scientific Officer!  

“Tommy was essential in our initial efforts to discover and engineer a tumor-activated technology for solid tumors and has since played a critical role in optimizing the applications for our #TRACTr and #TRACIr platforms while supporting our clinical programs.”

We look forward to his further transformative contributions as we continue to advance our platforms and preclinical pipeline.

We are grateful to our team for a great year! Janux will be closed for the holiday so we can spend time with our family and friends. We will return refreshed and ready in the New Year to continue our mission of developing meaningful new immunotherapies to improve outcomes for those fighting cancer.

#LifeatJanux #HappyHolidays
