About Tarveda Therapeutics, Inc.
Tarveda Therapeutics, Inc. is discovering and developing a new class of
potent and selective miniature drug conjugates (Pentarins®)
for the treatment of patients with a wide range of solid tumors. PEN-221
is a miniature drug conjugate in clinical evaluation for the treatment
of patients with somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) expressing
neuroendocrine, small cell lung and other solid tumors. PEN-221 is
highly selective for SSTR2 and is designed to rapidly penetrate deep
into solid tumors where it accumulates and releases its potent DM1
payload over time within the tumor cells. Tarveda is also advancing its
HSP90 binding drug conjugate platform with lead drug candidate PEN-866,
which selectively binds in tumors to the activated form of Heat Shock
Protein 90 (HSP90) and releases its potent topoisomerase 1 inhibitor
payload, SN38. The safety and efficacy of PEN-866 in patients with
cancer is currently being evaluated in a clinical trial. Tarveda’s
strategy includes developing its own proprietary miniature drug
conjugates as well as applying its miniature drug conjugate platform to
enhance the effectiveness of the targeting moieties and novel payloads
of pharmaceutical collaborators. www.tarvedatx.com
