About Clavis Pharma
Clavis Pharma ASA is a clinical-stage oncology focused
pharmaceutical company based in Oslo, Norway with a
portfolio of novel anti-cancer drugs in development. These
patented New Chemical Entities (NCEs) are novel, improved
versions of commercially successful drugs, made using
Clavis Pharma's Lipid Vector Technology (LVT)
chemistry. Data generated suggests these potential
breakthrough products may offer improved efficacy and
reduced side effects through enhanced pharmacokinetic
properties, greater tissue penetration, altered metabolism
and, in certain cases, additional modes of action.
Clavis Pharma's has several drug candidates in
development:
-
Elacytarabine, a leukaemia drug, currently in a
randomized, controlled Phase III study in relapsed or
refractory acute myeloid leukaemia;
-
CP-4126, is currently in a pivotal clinical study
compared to gemcitabine for the 1st line treatment of
metastatic pancreatic cancer and a Phase II trial for 2nd
line treatment for pancreatic cancer in patients
refractory to 1st line gemcitabine treatment;
-
CP-4200, an azacitidine derivative, in preclinical
development for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a disease
that is often a precursor to leukaemia.
Clavis Pharma intends to commercialise its products through
strategic alliances and partnerships with experienced
oncology businesses and, where and when commercially
appropriate, by establishing its own sales and marketing
capabilities.
