Pursuing a Cure for Cancer
We are developing novel therapies designed to increase cancer cure rates, prolong patient survival, and improve quality of life.
Improving Outcomes for Cancer Patients
The Next Revolution in Radiation Therapy
We are developing drugs to sensitize growing cancer cells, rendering them susceptible to the effects of radiation therapy, activate the DNA damage response pathway to kill cancer cells and protect adjacent normal cells. Our lead drug candidate, Ropidoxuridine, is an orally available halogenated pyrimidine with strong cancer radiation sensitizing properties.
Developing a Novel Portfolio
Currently, we have a Phase II clinical-stage lead product (Ropidoxuridine), three candidate pre-clinical products (HDAC inhibitors) and are aiming to develop pretreatment diagnostic blood tests for prostate cancer patients.
New Horizons in Diagnostic Technology
Our predictive biomarker strategy is to develop a diagnostic test for prostate cancer patients who are considering elective radiation therapy which will allow them to assess their risk for treatment success or failure, while informing therapeutic decision making and follow-up management.
