Our Science
Phi Pharma Peptide Drug Conjugate (PDC) technology overcomes specific challenges with existing Antibody-Drug-Conjugates (ADC) and radio-ligand therapies (RLTs). Our PDCs can target some difficult to reach cancer antigens due to its smaller size, are stable, have limited off-target toxicities and are versatile in choice of payload.
Our Technology
Phi Pharma intracellular targeting technology expands anti-cancer treatment options by targeting hitherto unaddressed cancer antigens expressed by a range of solid and liquid tumors. Initial Phi Pharma targeting peptides have been optimised for cell specific binding and high-capacity delivery of cytotoxic payloads. These properties allow increased drug concentration inside targeted cells while sparing off-target cell side-effects. Peptide-drug conjugates are designed for improved pharmacokinetic properties and uncoupling of the drug inside the target cells.
Our Programmes
Phi Pharma combines a differentiated PDC targeting platform together with a frequently expressed cancer antigen (CSPG4) that has proven difficult to target with existing approaches.
