Why Choose Us?

Customers in the biopharmaceutical space often face the pain points of high development costs, long timelines for antibody generation, and poor drug distribution in challenging tumor microenvironments. Creative Biolabs directly addresses these issues:

Pain Points Benefit Created by Creative Biolabs
High cost and time commitment of traditional antibody generation. We deliver chemically synthesized aptamers in weeks, significantly reducing R&D timeline and cost.
Limited tissue penetration and systemic toxicity of large conjugates. Our smaller, highly stable ApDCs ensure faster penetration and superior drug accumulation at the target site, enhancing efficacy and reducing off-target effects.
Manufacturing complexity and variability of biologics. We provide a scalable, chemical manufacturing process that guarantees reproducible quality and lower cost of goods sold.

Key Benefits

Creative Biolabs' ApDC platform offers transformative advantages over conventional drug delivery systems, positioning your project for success in competitive therapeutic fields.

Unmatched Penetration

ApDCs are significantly smaller than ADCs, allowing them to rapidly penetrate dense tumor microenvironments and reach intracellular targets inaccessible to larger biologics.

Chemical Stability and Scalability

As chemically synthesized oligonucleotides, our aptamers exhibit high thermal and chemical stability, enabling easier storage, lower cost of manufacturing, and precise, reproducible synthesis—a significant advantage over batch-to-batch variation in antibody production.

Superior Therapeutic Index

The precise binding affinity combined with the ability to safely carry high drug payloads on nanocarrier adjuncts (where applicable) minimizes off-target toxicity while maximizing drug concentration at the diseased tissue.

Low Immunogenicity

Aptamers are non-immunogenic compared to antibodies, dramatically reducing the risk of neutralizing immune responses that can limit the effective dosage and long-term use of ADC therapies.

Modular Design for Novel Payloads

Our platform is perfectly suited for integrating next-generation drugs, including bi-specific targeting molecules, radioisotopes, and future-proofing your therapeutic development pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What kinds of therapeutic payloads can be conjugated to the aptamers?

A: Our platform is highly versatile. We routinely conjugate classic chemotherapeutics (small molecules), toxins, therapeutic radionuclides for radio-conjugates, and even nucleic acid drugs. We can also explore advanced, high-payload delivery systems by conjugating aptamers to liposomes or polymeric nanocarriers, significantly expanding the payload capacity.

Q2: Is the ApDC approach suitable for indications outside of oncology, such as inflammatory diseases?

A: Absolutely. While ApDCs have shown immense promise in oncology, the fundamental principle—high-specificity molecular targeting—is universal. We actively develop ApDCs for immunomodulatory diseases by targeting specific inflammatory receptors on immune cells, enabling localized drug delivery to reduce chronic systemic exposure, which is a major benefit for long-term treatment.

Q3: How does Creative Biolabs ensure the stability of the ApDC in the bloodstream?

A: Aptamers are inherently susceptible to nuclease degradation, but Creative Biolabs incorporates proprietary chemical modifications, such as 2'-F-modified nucleotides and PEGylation, during synthesis. These modifications dramatically enhance serum stability and optimize the in vivo half-life, ensuring the conjugate remains intact long enough to reach and accumulate at the target site effectively.
