Notes to Editors
Incanthera is a specialist oncology company focused on transformative treatment technologies in oncology and dermatology. It seeks to identify and develop innovative solutions to current clinical, commercially relevant unmet needs, utilising new technology from leading academic institutions and industry, combined with Incanthera's unique targeting delivery platform.
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.
The Company originated from the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics (ICT) at the University of Bradford and has acquired and developed a portfolio of specific targeting therapeutics through both a Pipeline Agreement with the ICT and via other corporate acquisitions and partnerships. 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 Company has developed sophisticated formulation and targeting technology platforms to address previously unavailable options across dermatology and oncology. These deliver treatments specifically to a disease site, reducing side effects 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.
