A platform-stage biotech company with strong IP, compelling preclinical data, and a clear path to the clinic.
Funds will advance our lead candidate through GLP toxicology, GMP manufacturing, and IND-enabling studies. We welcome conversations with strategic investors, venture capital firms, and family offices with interest in oncology and nanomedicine.
Radiotherapy is an indispensable treatment for 50% of all cancer patients in developed healthcare systems. However, radiotherapy's effectiveness is limited by the body's maximum safe radiation exposure. Higher doses could kill more cancer cells but would cause unacceptable damage to healthy tissue.
Current radiosensitizers have failed to provide clinically significant improvements due to highly toxic compounds, minimal additional benefit, and narrow biologic targets. Patients face permanent "late effects" and treatment limitations.
5 million patients are treated annually with radiotherapy in developed healthcare systems. Approximately 10% (500,000) can significantly benefit from higher efficacy and/or lower toxicity, at $50,000 per course of treatment. The total addressable market exceeds $25 billion.
500,000 addressable patients across breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, and glioblastoma at $50,000 per course.
A 2018 priority date, and a growing moat. A strong, defensible patent estate with early priority dates covering composition of matter, methods of use, and manufacturing.
US application on platform technology with 2018 priority date, close to allowance. Covers the core nanoparticle architecture including the radiation-sensitive scintillator core (LaF3:Ce3+) and the photosensitizer coating (PPIX). Filed in US, EU, Canada, and China.
Built on the platform patent with additional claims for further niches as data develops. Accelerated at the patent office with 2026 completion target. Broad claims covering radiation-activated nanoparticles for treating solid tumors, with specific claims for glioblastoma, head and neck cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
Filed in 2025, directed at technology developments (e.g., new selective release nanoparticles) and clinical applications. Proprietary synthesis and surface functionalization methods enable scalable, reproducible production with tight size distribution (~100 nm) and batch-to-batch consistency. >90% encapsulation efficiency demonstrated.
Raising $1.5M CAD to complete pre-phase 1 studies. Maximum impact for every dollar invested.
Near-term milestones with defined exit potential.
Company incorporated, office space secured, research agreement with Sunnybrook established.
4 patents submitted, strong pre-clinical evidence, hiring R&D team, closing pre-seed round.
