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 303,157 shares of our common stock at an aggregate gross offering price of $38.92 pursuant to the Sales Agreement and the Prior Prospectus for aggregate gross sale proceeds of $11,799,276. We are filing this prospectus supplement to amend the Prior Prospectus to revise the amount 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 October 30, 2026 was $6,929,502 based on 2,665,193 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and held by non-affiliates on October 30, 2026, and a price per share of $2.60 as of September 2, 2026, 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 $0 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 additional shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,309,834 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 October 30, 2026, was $1.34 per share.
