Overview

Founded in 2001, AB Science is a Paris-based public company with a mission to deliver innovative therapies in areas of high unmet medical need. Its strategy is anchored in the selective targeting of key pathological pathways, most notably with its lead asset masitinib, which has achieved multiple Phase 3 readouts and regulatory submissions in ALS and progressive MS. The company is advancing a diversified pipeline across oncology, neurology, and inflammatory diseases, supported by a robust intellectual property estate extending into the 2040s.

Opportunities

Regulatory approval of masitinib in ALS or progressive MS would open multi-billion dollar markets with high unmet need.
AB8939's novel mechanism offers a potential best-in-class therapy for resistant AML and other cancers.
The company's extensive patent estate provides long-term commercial protection into the 2040s.

Risk Factors

High dependency on positive regulatory outcomes for masitinib following Phase 3 trials.
The company is pre-revenue from human health and will require significant additional capital, risking shareholder dilution.
Faces intense competition in all target therapeutic areas.

Competitive Landscape

Masitinib competes with approved symptomatic and disease-modifying therapies in ALS and MS but is differentiated by its selective mast cell/microglia target. AB8939 enters a competitive AML landscape but aims to overcome resistance to existing chemotherapies through a novel mechanism of action.
