About NextCure
NextCure, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that has been focused on discovering and developing novel therapies to treat cancer. The company's pipeline includes SIM0505, an investigational antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CDH6 with a proprietary topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, and LNCB74, a B7-H4-directed ADC developed in collaboration with LigaChem Biosciences. NextCure has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Avere Therapeutics, a privately held biotechnology company developing oral therapies for IL-23-driven inflammatory diseases. The company is currently in a transitional phase, preserving capital and managing legacy assets ahead of the expected merger closing. Its retained clinical, regulatory, CMC, and finance personnel support the ongoing clinical development of LNCB74 under a transition agreement with LigaChem, manage patients enrolled in the SIM0505 study, and pursue efforts to partner, license, or monetize legacy clinical and preclinical assets. The company trades on Nasdaq under the ticker NXTC. Updated
