Aura Biosciences, Inc. (AURA)

What Aura Biosciences, Inc. does

Overview We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing precision therapies to treat solid tumors designed to preserve organ function. Our lead candidate bel-sar is in late-stage clinical development for the treatment of patients with early choroidal melanoma (defined as small choroidal melanoma and/or indeterminate lesions) and is also in clinical development for other ocular oncology indications and bladder cancer. There is significant unmet need for novel treatments for patients with choroidal melanoma, given the limitations of the current standard of care, or SoC, and patient reluctance to undergo radiotherapy in the form of either plaque brachytherapy or proton beam therapy, both highly-invasive therapies that result in significant vision loss, and potential legal blindness in the treated eye.
