Model CAP6 - Cationic Amphipathic Peptide
Our product is a new-generation CAP6 that shows great promise as a highly effective treatment for lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung cancer is one of the most widely prevalent cancers, and one of the most difficult to treat. Eighty-one percent of patients treated for lung cancer die within five years.

The target market for our CAP6 is cancer treatment...
The target market for our CAP6 is cancer treatment using chemo- or radiotherapy, or a combination of both. Because of their cationic and amphipathic features, CAP6 (cationic amphipathic peptides) are recognized as novel cancer-targeted therapeutics, with significantly lower cost and fewer side effects. CAP6s represent the molecules of the future as a form of a cancer “biotherapy”, which is well-tolerated and effective.
Our CAP6 has achieved better scores in in vivo trials than the blockbuster lung-cancer drug Erlotinib.
The science behind our CAP6
Our CAP6 belongs to a new generation of cancer drugs having few side effects and generally greater efficacy. It displays a dual mechanism of action, specifically targeting tubulin and membranes of tumor cells, with low toxicity for normal cells. CAP6s bind to cancer cells by electrostatic interaction, and this leads to cytotoxicity of cancer cells.
Originally developed for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, our CAP6 has since been tested ex vivo for its anti-proliferative properties on 33 tumor cells, and has achieved the best scores in 17 instances. When tested in vivo it showed a significant improvement in terms of reduced lung tumor volume in mice when compared to Erlotinib. Based on the results of a pharmacological test initiated in March 2018, the protocol for the pre-clinical regulatory work has been drawn up, followed by a Phase I/II trial.
