- Novelty Nobility — Novelty Nobility Inc. is a private biotech company. They are currently focused on the research of novel angiogenesis targets and develop antibody-based therapeutics in ophthalmology and oncology, where angiogenesis plays a key pathogenic role.In ophthalmology, Novelty Nobility first discovered a novel angiogenesis target, Stem Cell Factor(SCF)and c-KIT, which was initially known for its engagement with proliferation and survival of primitive hematopoietic stem cells for a couple of past decades. We believe that anti-SCF/c-KIT could effectively address the unmet medical needs, mostly caused by inherent limitations of anti-VEGFs, in terms of treatment efficacy and long-term safety. Our target discovery is widely and strongly patent-protected in US/KOR and the lead pipeline, NN2101(a full-human monoclonal antibody), is currently under preclinical development.
