Aegle Therapeutics
Private Company
Total funding raised: $10.5M
Overview
Aegle Therapeutics is a private, clinical-stage biotech founded in 2015 and based in Miami, Florida, operating in the biologics sector. The company is developing a novel therapeutic platform based on extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with its lead program AGLE-102 in a Phase 1/2 trial for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB). Aegle's technology aims to leverage the inherent signaling and cargo-delivery functions of EVs to treat rare diseases with high unmet need, positioning it at the forefront of the emerging EV therapeutics field. The company is currently pre-revenue and focused on advancing its clinical pipeline.
Technology Platform
Proprietary platform for harvesting and developing therapeutic extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The EVs deliver a natural payload of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids) to exert regenerative, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Competitive Landscape
Aegle operates in the emerging and competitive field of extracellular vesicle/exosome therapeutics. It faces competition from other biotech startups (e.g., Codiak BioSciences, Evox Therapeutics) and academic institutions developing EV-based platforms. For RDEB specifically, competitors include gene therapy approaches, protein replacement strategies, and other cell-based therapies, though Aegle's cell-free EV approach is a distinct modality.
