The company is a biopharmaceutical firm focused on developing innovative immune-oncology therapies to treat difficult cancers, utilizing its proprietary DNase platform that targets neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) implicated in cancer progression. The platform aims to enhance the effectiveness of existing treatments, particularly for pancreatic cancer and colorectal carcinoma, which present significant unmet needs and dismal prognosis for patients. Their strategy includes advancing a clinical study of intravenous rhDNase I for locally advanced and metastatic solid tumors, while also collaborating with partners to explore adoptive cell therapies using DNase technology to combat immunosuppression in tumor microenvironments.
The company's business model revolves around advancing research and development of their DNase platform, while also engaging in collaborative agreements with partners to explore wider applications of their technologies. They aim to secure orphan designations and accelerate approval pathways to enhance the commercial potential of their drug candidates, leveraging a robust patent portfolio to protect their innovations. By focusing on challenging oncology targets and developing partnerships, the company aspires to create next-generation therapeutics that can significantly improve patient outcomes when conventional therapies fall short.
