Incuron is engaged in developing a pipeline of drugs to treat oncology. Two molecules currently undergoing clinical development are CBL0102 and CBL0137. CBL0102 is structurally identical to an old antimalarial drug, quinacrine, widely used for the treatment and prophylaxis of malaria. CBL0102 is a potent inducer of p53 and inhibitor of NF-kB via FACT-suppressing activity which gives its anti-cancer properties. This led to the finding that CBL0102 is toxic to multiple types of cancer cells in vitro and in some mouse models of cancer. However peculiar bio-distribution of CBL0102 in vivo with maximal accumulation in liver and skin suggested its clinical use against cancers located in liver and skin (primary and metastatic).

OncoMax is focussed on developing drugs for range of cancers. It is developing its lead candidate OM-RCA-01, a monoclonal antibody (MAb) that binds to the extracellular domains of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1(FGFR1) and prevents receptor interaction with fibroblast growth factors thus inhibiting signal transduction. This inhibition claims to possess antitumor activity. The candidate is currently completing the preclinical research and is being developed for luminal B subtype of breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the Lung and metastatic prostate cancer. It is currently conducting additional studies necessary to complete a registration dossier and access the first phase of clinical study.
