MCT-465 and MCT-485 are the first of a family of prospective cancer therapeutics based on the use of our patented TLR3 signaling technology. MCT-465 and MCT 485 are in preclinical development, and are being investigated as prospective treatments for primary liver cancer and triple negative breast cancer.
Cancer stem cells are thought to play a role in a tumor’s resistance to therapy. While significant progress has been made in developing cancer therapies that result in cytoreduction and thus tumor regression, the control of cancer over a longer interval and especially of metastatic disease, remains a key goal. Cancer stem cells are believed to be responsible for cancer relapse by being less sensitive to conventional therapies.
MCET’s representatives will present preclinical research findings for MCT-465 and MCT-485 at CIMT (Association for Cancer Immunotherapy) 2012 in Germany, which is Europe’s largest meeting dedicated to cancer immunotherapy research and development.
