EndoAngio-GT

EndoAngio-GT is a gene therapy for the treatment of solid tumours. The product uses a viral vector to deliver the genes for endostatin and angiostatin, which inhibit tumour growth by blocking the formation of new blood vessels.

Preclinical optimisation

A number of gene delivery systems have been evaluated in preclinical studies and a potentially optimal viral vector has been identified for EndoAngio-GT. Further preclinical development is required to optimise the product candidate for clinical trials.

Market opportunity

There is substantial interest within the industry for novel anti-angiogenic approaches for the treatment of cancer. The market leader in the field, Avastin® (Genentech), generated sales in excess of US$4 billion in 2008. EndoAngio-GT could have competitive advantages in terms of safety and potency.
