SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 19, 2025--

Candid Therapeutics, Inc. (“Candid”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company redefining the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases through novel T-cell engagers (TCEs), today announced that it has been named to the prestigious 2025 Endpoints 11 list. The Endpoints 11 annually recognizes the most promising private biotech companies in the world driving innovation and shaping the future of the industry.

“We are thrilled to receive this recognition after just one year of officially launching the company,” said Dr. Ken Song, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Candid. “We believe T-cell engagers represent a transformative modality for patients with debilitating inflammatory conditions, and this recognition underscores the progress our team has made advancing potentially first-in-class and best-in-class programs into the clinic.”

Candid is advancing a comprehensive pipeline of T-cell engagers, anchored by cizutamig, a first-in-class and potentially best-in-class BCMA-targeting TCE currently in clinical evaluation across multiple autoimmune indications. In addition, the company is progressing next-generation CD19- and CD20-targeting programs, including CND261 and CND319, alongside a robust discovery engine designed to expand TCE applications across a broad range of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
