Cue Biopharma, Inc.CUE
Health Care

Develops injectable biologics that selectively modulate disease-specific T cells in vivo. Active programs pair the Immuno-STAT-derived CUE-401 autoimmune candidate with CUE-221, a Phase 2 anti-IgE antibody for allergic diseases licensed outside Greater China.

Develops injectable biologics intended to selectively modulate disease-specific T cells in vivo. Its Immuno-STAT platform underpins CUE-401, which combines engineered IL-2 and TGF-beta signals and is advancing toward Phase 1 for autoimmune and inflammatory disease.

The active pipeline also includes CUE-221, a Phase 2 anti-IgE antibody for allergic diseases, licensed for global rights outside mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Earlier molecules have been licensed to Boehringer Ingelheim and ImmunoScape.

Commercialization depends on further research, clinical testing, potential regulatory approval, and execution under the CUE-221 license and partner arrangements.
