Cantargia AB – developing a new type of cancer treatment
Cantargia is developing an antibody-based cancer treatment which attacks mature cancer cells as well as cancer stem cells – the root of the disease. The company has selected and applied for a patent for a product candidate, targeted at IL1RAP, which has a specific and strong bind to leukaemia stem cells and mature cancer cells. In preclinical studies the antibody has been shown to have two potential mechanisms of action which complement each other: it helps the immune system’s killer cells to identify and attack the source of the disease, and it blocks the signals from the target molecule, preventing the cancer cells from spreading. Studies will be carried out to determine safe doses for future treatment of patients. In 2015 Cantargia will carry out further preclinical studies, primarily in solid tumours. The results of these studies will provide guidance for which indications should be the subject of future clinical studies.
In January/February 2015 Cantargia successfully completed an issue of units consisting of shares and option rights, initially raising around SEK 44.1 million before issue costs. If all option rights are exercised the company would raise a further estimated SEK 55.1 million at a later stage through option rights.
