Agomab Therapeutics has secured €94.9m ($100m) in its Series C funding round to advance the development of its fibrosis-focused pipeline.

Fidelity Management & Research led the financing round, with new investors EQT Life Sciences, Canaan and Dawn Biopharma, along with current investors, taking part.

Agomab plans to use the funding proceeds to support the Phase IIa STENOVA clinical trial of its lead candidate AGMB-129 in the treatment of fibrostenosing Crohn’s disease. 

The US Food and Drug Administration granted fast-track designation for the asset. 

The fresh capital will also be used to progress and expand the company’s portfolio of anti-fibrotic and regenerative drug candidates.

These assets include AGMB-447 for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, AGMB-101 for fibrotic disorders and AGMB-102 for degenerative disorders.
