Kymab Announces Presentations at the 24th EHA Annual Congress
Two Company-sponsored oral and poster abstracts to be presented on KY1049 and IntelliSelect® Bispecifics platform
Cambridge, UK; June 13, 2019: Kymab, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing antibody-based therapeutics, today announced that two abstracts describing KY1049, Kymab’s fully-human Factor VIII (FVIII)-mimetic bispecific antibody, will be presented at the 24th European Hematology Association Annual Congress in Amsterdam, being held June 13-16. An oral presentation describing the preclinical evaluation of KY1049 will be given. In addition, a poster presentation introduces Kymab’s proprietary IntelliSelect Bispecifics platform that can generate diverse and extensive panels of fully human, common light-chain bispecific antibodies. Developed using high-throughput hemostatic assays, KY1049 is the first CLC bispecific molecule produced using the IntelliSelect Bispecifics platform.
“We are pleased to present at this prestigious meeting some very exciting preclinical data on KY1049, the first naturally-evolved fully-human bispecific antibody generated by our proprietary IntelliSelect Bispecifics platform. We look forward to highlighting some of the unique features and advantages of both our platform and KY1049.” said Allan Bradley, Ph.D., FRS., Chief Scientific Officer of Kymab.
The abstracts have been published on the EHA website, and can be accessed via www.ehaweb.org.

Notes to Editors
About Kymab
Kymab is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a deep pipeline of novel antibody-based therapies in a broad range of indications. The Company generates its product candidates using its proprietary, integrated platforms collectively called IntelliSelect®. Kymab’s platforms have been designed to maximize the diversity of human antibodies produced in response to immunization with antigens. Selecting from a broad diversity of fully human antibodies allows for the identification of antibodies with optimal drug-like properties.
About IntelliSelect®
IntelliSelect® Transgenics platforms are designed to generate best-in-class, fully-human monoclonal antibodies from several highly-engineered strains of mice that have the complete constellation of human antibody building blocks in their genome.
The IntelliSelect® Screening technology combines single cell sequencing, genomics and proprietary bioinformatic algorithms to prioritize and select antibodies generated by IntelliSelect® Transgenics platforms that have the most desirable drug-like properties.
About IntelliSelect® Bispecifics
The IntelliSelect® Bispecifics platform is designed to generate, fully-human bispecific antibodies with naturally-paired common light chains from several highly-engineered strains of mice that have the complete constellation of human antibody heavy chain repertoire and one or more selected light chains.
The IntelliSelect® Bispecifics platform combines single cell sequencing, genomics and proprietary bioinformatic algorithms to prioritize and select antibodies generated by the IntelliSelect® Transgenics platforms that have the most desirable drug-like properties.
