Company Description
Valion Bio, Inc. develops immunotherapeutic biologics based on Toll-like receptor 5, or TLR5, activation for cytoprotection and immune modulation. The company, formerly known as Tivic Health Systems, Inc., trades on Nasdaq under the symbol VBIO and operates as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. Its lead program is Entolimod™, a TLR5 agonist being developed for Acute Radiation Syndrome, oncology supportive care, and longevity-related indications.
Entolimod is designed to activate innate immune pathways, including cytoprotective signaling relevant to bone marrow and gastrointestinal tissue preservation after ionizing radiation exposure. The Acute Radiation Syndrome program is positioned as a medical countermeasure for radiological threats, and the company has described FDA Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations for Entolimod in ARS. Valion Bio also links Entolimod's mechanism to oncology supportive care, including potential treatment of neutropenia, a condition commonly associated with chemotherapy, and lymphocyte exhaustion, a state of T-cell dysfunction.
The company's pipeline also includes Entolasta™, a next-generation TLR5 agonist intended to broaden the therapeutic reach of the same innate-immunity platform. Entolasta provides additional pipeline depth in areas that include oncology supportive care and other applications where TLR5-mediated immune modulation may be relevant.
Pipeline and manufacturing model
Valion Bio combines drug development with internal biomanufacturing capabilities through Velocity Bioworks, its wholly owned contract development and manufacturing organization. Velocity Bioworks provides biomanufacturing services to third-party biotechnology companies and also supports Valion Bio's own biologics pipeline. This structure gives the company an operating model that includes clinical-stage therapeutic development and CDMO service activity within the same corporate group.
The company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. Its current corporate identity reflects a completed rebranding from Tivic Health Systems to Valion Bio, with the ticker change to VBIO effective in April 2026. The name change marks the company's stated transition from its prior health-technology identity to a biopharmaceutical platform centered on Entolimod, Entolasta, innate immunity, and biologics manufacturing.
