Projectdetails

Introduction

Celtic Biotech Ireland has developed CB24 (Crotoxin). A naturally derived receptor binding protein, delivered as monotherapy at home using infusion pumps, is hailed as a life-changing treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Mechanism of Action

Delivered intravenously, CB24 induces predictable and consistent apoptosis (cell death) and autophagy (degradation) in human lung carcinoma cells.

Competitive Advantage

CB24 outclasses the competitive NSCLC treatment solutions (surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy) through its:

  • Efficacy
  • Safety
  • Minimal side effects
  • Easy-to-use home-based treatment
  • Suitability for all patients, including those at stage 3 & 4

Clinical Evidence

Celtic has already proven the efficacy of CB24 through pre-clinical and First-In-Human (FIH) clinical trials.

Project Goals

Through the proposed 24-month EIC project, the company aims to undertake Phase I Part 3 clinical trials involving 24 patients with the ultimate goal of garnering the regulatory approvals (EMA, FDA) to market the drug as a verified cancer therapeutic.
