Outpace Bio is a biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for solid tumors using biological approaches.

Outpace Bio

Outpace is creating cell therapies with curative potential through protein design and cellular engineering. With an initial focus on solid tumors, Outpace is developing technologies that overcome the barriers to efficacy and safety by programming cells to make the right decisions inside patients. Outpace’s suite of technologies drive persistent activity of the cell therapy (OutLast™), recruit a productive immune response in the tumor microenvironment (OutSmart™), and achieve the potency (OutSpacers™), specificity (Co-LOCKR™), and safety (EGFRopt™) necessary to unlock diverse cancer indications. Outpace’s internal and partnered pipeline approach is optimized for rapid clinical validation of its technologies across diverse cell types and manufacturing processes.

At Outpace Bio, we believe that the highest performing teams include people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences who respectfully challenge each other.  We are committed to building an open, diverse, and inclusive culture for all employees.

Today, we are thrilled to announce the successful closing of an oversubscribed Series B financing of $144M. This funding will propel the advancement of multiple programmed T cell product candidates to early clinical proof-of-concept in #ovariancancer and other #solidtumors, and further expand our pipeline and platform. We are also excited to welcome Jake Simson, PhD from RA Capital Management to our Board of Directors.

Our lead program, OPB-101, is a mesothelin-specific CAR T cell enhanced by Outpace's proprietary technologies: OUTSMART™, OUTLAST™, OUTSPACER™, and OUTSAFE™. OPB-101 has shown complete elimination of solid tumors in stringent in vivo models at very low treatment doses (as low as 50,000 cells) and is on track for IND clearance and first dosing in 2025 for patients with advanced platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

We extend our gratitude to our world-class syndicate of investors for believing in and supporting our mission to revolutionize treatment outcomes for #patients battling #solidtumors.
