Overview

AU-101 is a drug candidate developed by Aura Biosciences for the treatment of ocular melanoma. It is identified as belantamab, which is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are designed to deliver a cytotoxic agent directly to cancer cells by linking it to a monoclonal antibody that targets a specific protein on the cancer cell surface. In the context of ocular melanoma, AU-101 is delivered using Clearside Biomedical's proprietary SCS Microinjector, enabling precise suprachoroidal tumor targeting. Belantamab mafodotin, a related ADC, is known to target B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and utilizes monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) as its cytotoxic payload.
