This prospectus supplement amends and supplements the information in the prospectus, dated February 26, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a part of our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284969), as previously supplemented by our prospectus supplement, dated April 28, 2025 (together, the “Prior Prospectus”), relating to the offer and sale of a number of shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (“Shares”), pursuant to that certain At The Market Offering Agreement we previously entered into with Roth Capital Partners ("Roth") on April 28, 2025 (the “Sales Agreement”). This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prior Prospectus, and is qualified by reference thereto, except to the extent that the information herein amends or supersedes the information contained in the Prior Prospectus. This prospectus supplement is not complete without and may only be delivered or utilized in connection with, the Prior Prospectus and any future amendments or supplements thereto.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have sold 305,845 shares of our common stock at an aggregate gross offering price of $0.5946 pursuant to the Sales Agreement and the Prior Prospectus for aggregate gross sale proceeds of $181,848. We are filing this prospectus supplement to amend the Prior Prospectus to increase the number of Shares we may offer and sell under the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the Prior Prospectus form a part following an increase in the aggregate market value of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates (our “Public Float”).

Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event may we sell, pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the Prior Prospectus form a part, securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of our Public Float in any 12-month period, so long as our Public Float remains below $75,000,000. Our Public Float as of April 29, 2025 was $22,358,063, based on 5,852,896 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and held by non-affiliates on April 29, 2025, and a price per share of $3.82 as of February 28, 2025, which is a date within 60 days prior to the filing date of this prospectus supplement. As of the date hereof, we have sold securities with an aggregate market value of $4,285,140 pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the prior 12-month period that ends on and includes the date hereof.

As a result of the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, and in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may currently offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,167,548 from time to time through Roth as sales agent. If our Public Float increases such that we may sell a greater amount of shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement and the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the Prior Prospectus form a part, we will file another prospectus supplement prior to making such sales.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “APVO.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on April 29, 2025, was $0.566 per share.
