Crossbow Therapeutics

1030 Massachusetts Avenue Suite 210, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States

Overview

Crossbow Therapeutics is developing a portfolio of T-Bolt™ T-cell engager (TCE) therapies built from T-cell receptor-mimetic antibodies that target peptide–HLA (pHLA) complexes on cancer cells. Its lead program, CBX-250, is a first-in-class TCE targeting a pHLA specific to myeloid cancer cells and is being evaluated in the ongoing CROSSCHECK-001 Phase 1 trial in relapsed and refractory myeloid malignancies. The company is advancing CBX-663, a TCE targeting a TERT-derived pHLA, toward IND submission and a planned Phase 1 start in Q3 2026 for multiple hematologic and solid tumors. Crossbow positions its T-Bolt™ platform as broadly adaptable to address intracellular cancer targets previously unreachable by antibodies. The company will present preclinical data for both programs at the AACR 2026 Annual Meeting and expects initial clinical data from CBX-250 around the end of 2026. The recent $77 million Series B is intended to fund completion of CBX-250’s Phase 1 and to accelerate initiation and development of additional T-Bolt™ programs.
