Competitive Landscape
Affibody competes in the radiopharmaceutical space with large players like Novartis (Pluvicto, Lutathera) and a growing number of biotechs (e.g., RayzeBio, Fusion Pharmaceuticals). Its competitive edge is based on the small size and pharmacokinetic profile of its Affibody molecules, which may offer advantages over antibody-based RLTs. In immunology, izokibep competes with established IL-17 inhibitors like Cosentyx.
