Projectdetails

Introduction

TUMAGOSTIC will advance the development of CP-506, a next-generation Hypoxia Activated Prodrug (HAP) for the treatment of hypoxic tumours, representing over 50% of all solid tumours.

Overcoming Limitations

CP-506 overcomes the limitations of previous HAP development attempts and can provide more targeted treatment compared with alternatives such as chemo-immunotherapy combination and PARPi.

Innovative Approach

Our approach combines CP-506 with improved patient targeting based on two AI-driven biomarkers:

  • Tumour hypoxia
  • Homologous Recombination Defect

This strategy has high potential to increase the effectiveness of standard of care therapies such as immunotherapy (IO) in combination therapy (prodrug-IO) and improve patients’ progression-free survival and quality of life in several cancer types.

Commercialization Goals

We aim to advance CP-506 towards commercialization by carrying out a phase I-IIa clinical trial and corresponding business development activities. This will pave the way for a licensing agreement with the potential to exceed €450M.
