The Coave team will be presenting two oral and two poster presentations at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) Annual Meeting being held 11-15 May 2026 in Boston, including groundbreaking data on our OneAAV™ universal capsid. OneAAV™ decouples tissue targeting from capsid design and serotype selection, meaning that targeting is driven by externally conjugated ligands. Adrien Savy will present exciting pre-clinical data that shows how this approach addresses key challenges associated with systemic gene therapy delivery, enabling precise tissue targeting, unprecedented liver de-targeting, and immune evasion. Our second oral presentation (presented by Julien SPATAZZA) and two poster presentations (presented by Brahim Belbellaa and Lavaniya Kunalingam) will further showcase the potential of our ligand-conjugation technology to enhance vectors for targeted gene therapy.

About us
Coave Therapeutics is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing life changing gene therapies in rare Ocular and CNS (Central Nervous System) diseases. We are pushing the boundaries of gene therapy through application of our AAV-Ligand Conjugates platform (ALIGATER) that enables targeted delivery, enhanced gene transduction and tissue distribution to improve the effectiveness of advanced gene therapies for rare diseases. Our strategy is to advance a pipeline of novel therapies targeting rare ocular and CNS diseases where targeted gene therapy has the potential to be most effective, where there is a clear unmet need and where success will provide rapid validation of our ALIGATER platform.

We’re excited to introduce a new monthly series from Coave Therapeutics: Precision, Delivered. In this series, we will take a closer look at gene therapy, its promise, its potential, and the fundamental challenge that has constrained its broader impact: delivery. Gene therapy was designed to address disease at its genetic root, offering the potential for durable, effective and safe treatments across a broad spectrum of disease. In ophthalmology, this promise is particularly compelling. The eye’s immune-privileged environment and accessibility make it an attractive setting for innovative genetic medicines. And yet, despite scientific progress, gene therapy has largely remained confined to a minority of rare diseases. Why? Because delivery has been the limiting factor. Traditional AAV-based approaches rely on genetic engineering of vectors to achieve tissue targeting. This strategy presents important constraints in ophthalmology: · Limited tissue specificity and off-target exposure · Immune responses that can restrict re-administration and second-eye treatment · Invasive routes of administration, including subretinal surgery · Trade-offs between durability, efficacy and safety Coave is focused on solving these challenges without trade-offs, with our lead program CoTx-101. Powered by the world’s first ligand-conjugated AAVs, our Precision Vectors are designed to decouple manufacturing from targeting, enabling modular, scalable, and highly tissue-specific delivery of gene therapies. We look forward to advancing the conversation in this rapidly evolving field and sharing more with the next installment of Precision, Delivered. #PrecisionDelivered #Ophthalmology #GeneTherapy #RetinalVascularDiseases #WetAMD #DME #AAVVectors #TargetedGeneTherapy #Biotech

#ICYMI Last week, our colleagues Marie-Anne Burlot and Ludmila JURICEK presented two posters at the AAV Vectors Workshop in Paris, organised by the SFTCG-French Society for Cell and Gene Therapy. Marie-Anne and Ludmila shared insights from our pioneering work using the world's first ligand-conjugated AAVs, for both suprachoroidal and systemic delivery. A huge thank you to the organisers for putting together such an engaging event and to everyone who stopped by to discuss our mission to redefine targeted gene therapy. #SFTCG #Ophthalmology #GeneTherapy #PrecisionVectors #AAV #Innovation

February is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Low Vision Awareness Month. AMD is one of the leading causes of vision loss among older adults worldwide, with approximately 200 million people affected globally – a number expected to rise significantly as populations age. At Coave Therapeutics, we're committed to advancing targeted gene therapies for retinal vascular diseases such as wet AMD, with the goal of improving outcomes by delivering durable vision gains via an in-office procedure.
