Notes to Editors

Incanthera is a specialist oncology company focused on transforming cancer treatment by creating environments in which cancer cannot survive. It seeks to identify and develop innovative solutions to current clinical, commercially relevant unmet needs, utilising new technology from leading academic institutions.

The Company’s current lead product and focus is Sol, a potentially innovative topical product for the treatment of solar keratosis and the prevention of skin cancers. This has achieved proof of concept and the Company is now focussed upon delivering Sol to a commercial partner within 12-18 months of listing.

The Company originated from the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics (ICT) at the University of Bradford and, in addition to Sol, has acquired and developed a portfolio of specific cancer-targeting therapeutics through a Pipeline Agreement with the ICT and other corporate acquisitions. Incanthera’s strategy is to develop each candidate in the portfolio from initial acquisition or discovery to securing its future through commercially valuable partnerships at the earliest opportunity in its development pathway.

The majority of conventional cancer treatments (other than surgery) on the market are chemotherapy or radiotherapy based. These are non-selective by nature and highly toxic to healthy tissue as well as tumours. Accordingly, treatment can only be delivered in carefully controlled doses over a limited period of time. To address this problem directly, the Company has developed sophisticated formulation and prodrug targeting technologies to deliver treatment specifically to the tumour. Prodrugs are chemically modified versions of pharmacologically active agents which only become active when they reach a target, thus reducing generalised toxicity in normal tissues, whilst enabling higher doses to reach a target and therefore increase efficacy.

Incanthera’s Board and management possess a broad range of commercial, scientific and public company experience. In addition, Incanthera benefits from a diverse, experienced team of advisers who cover the necessary range of specialities required for all aspects of the Company’s business, and also has a number of beneficial collaborative relationships with both clinicians and clinical centres. In particular, the Pipeline Agreement with the ICT, provides a strong working relationship with a world-recognised oncology research institute and access to future pipeline opportunities.
