We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to engineering a targeted gene therapy to improve the standard treatment for early-stage bladder cancer, which is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer. We have discovered and are developing a biologic agent called inodiftagene vixteplasmid, or inodiftagene, that we believe can deliver a new treatment to patients who have options that are limited in efficacy and problematic in toxicity. Bladder cancer is a disease that typically causes symptoms early in its course and consequently presents the patient and the treating physician with an opportunity to gain control of the malignancy. However, the limitations of existing therapies, developed in the 1970s, often result in a prolonged series of unsuccessful treatments that can end in the radical removal of the bladder. Our lead product candidate, inodiftagene, is a recombinant DNA construct that will be administered to patients whose therapy for early stage bladder cancer has failed: this is gene therapy for bladder cancer. Preclinical studies and clinical trials completed so far have demonstrated that our product candidate can deliver a lethal gene specifically to bladder cancer cells in a patient’s bladder.
