Cavatar is a biotechnology company located in La Jolla, CA, focused on improving drug performance through enhanced delivery. We combine antibody engineering and in vivo imaging techniques in stringent pre-clinical models of disease to visualize and quantify tissue targeting, delivery, processing and therapeutic effects.

Our precision delivery platform is based on a cellular transport system which actively pumps targeting antibodies and attached cargo out of systemic circulation directly into diseased tissue, such as solid tumors.

With precision delivery, we can concentrate imaging and therapeutic agents directly into diseased tissues to enhance efficacy, reduce off-target toxicities and improve patient outcomes.

Our drug delivery system offers a powerful synergistic solution to improve drug performance to address important unmet clinical needs.
