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.

Phi Pharma is currently optimising its lead and backup candidates for the initial oncology indications and is currently seeking financial and/or industrial partners to accelerate the preclinical development of these programmes beyond the achievement of in-vivo and ex-vivo proof of concept.
