Brighton, United States Aura Biosciences Inc. Full time

ABOUT AURA:

Aura Biosciences is a clinical stage oncology company. We are developing a novel technology platform based on virus-like drug conjugates (VDCs) to target and destroy cancer cells selectively, while activating the immune system to create long lasting anti-tumor immunity.

We have a goal of developing this technology in multiple cancer indications, focusing initially on two therapeutic areas - ocular oncology and bladder cancer - with a goal to expand into other areas of solid tumor oncology. Initially we have focused our clinical development in the medical field of ocular oncology, a group of rare diseases that have no drugs approved. We are in Phase 3 with our lead VDC AU-011 in choroidal melanoma. We are also in development in non-muscle invasive and muscle invasive bladder cancer, currently in a Phase 1 trial.

We have commenced a global Phase 3 program investigating the delivery of AU-011 for the treatment of small choroidal melanoma and indeterminate lesions. AU-011 has to date demonstrated an excellent efficacy and safety profile in Phase 2 for choroidal melanoma, and enrolment is ongoing in the pivotal Phase 3 trial.
