AbCellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) is a Canadian biotechnology company using its antibody discovery platform to develop therapies for cancer, autoimmune, metabolic, and endocrine disorders. Long recognized for industry partnerships, the company is now advancing into clinical development with proprietary assets.

In August 2025, AbCellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) dosed the first participants in a Phase 1 trial of ABCL635, a non-hormonal antibody therapy targeting the neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) for vasomotor symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes. Current treatments are largely hormone-based, making this candidate a potential breakthrough for millions of women seeking safer, long-acting alternatives. The trial will evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in both healthy participants and postmenopausal women.

AbCellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) also received Health Canada approval to begin a Phase 1 trial of ABCL575, an antibody antagonist of OX40 ligand (OX40L) for atopic dermatitis and other inflammatory conditions. Preclinical data suggest it could inhibit T cell–mediated inflammation with extended dosing intervals, potentially improving efficacy and convenience for patients.
