News pre|CISION Platform: Delivering Two Complementary Therapies from One Molecule

/in , /by

A novel dual payload peptide drug conjugate technology, known as the pre|CISION® platform, represents an advance in oncology by delivering two complementary anticancer therapies from a single molecule. This approach leverages the fibroblast activation protein (FAP), which is selectively present in the tumor microenvironment, especially in advanced prostate cancer such as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

KLS-3021: a Promising Oncolytic Virus for Prostate Cancer

/in , /by

KLS-3021 is a novel oncolytic virus therapy developed for the treatment of prostate cancer. It employs a recombinant vaccinia virus engineered to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells while activating the immune system to target tumors more effectively. The virus carries three therapeutic genes: PH-20, which degrades the extracellular matrix to facilitate viral spread and […]
