Celldex Therapeutics (CLDX) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of targeted immunotherapies for cancer and other serious diseases. The company’s research platforms leverage novel antibody and vaccine technologies designed to engage the patient’s immune system, with a particular emphasis on oncology and neurologic indications. Celldex’s pipeline includes both monoclonal antibodies and biologic agents that seek to modulate immune responses or deliver targeted cytotoxic activity.

Among Celldex’s lead product candidates is glembatumumab vedotin, an antibody–drug conjugate directed against the glycoprotein NMB (gpNMB) for the treatment of certain breast and skin cancers. Other investigational compounds include varlilumab, an agonist antibody targeting CD27, CDX-301, a recombinant human Flt3 ligand designed to expand dendritic and immune cell populations, and CDX-1140, an antibody targeting CD40 to activate antigen-presenting cells. These programs are in various stages of clinical development, and Celldex collaborates with academic centers and industry partners to advance trials in the United States and select international sites.

Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Hampton, New Jersey, Celldex has evolved from a small discovery lab into a specialized immunotherapy company. Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Roger F. Dansey, M.D., the organization has strengthened its scientific expertise and manufacturing capabilities to support both early-stage and later-stage development activities. Celldex serves patients primarily in North America while maintaining strategic relationships to facilitate broader access to its investigational therapies in other regions.
