Kymeris has invented a revolutionary, live-cell based technology platform which delivers into the tumor micro-environment and activates there multiple therapeutic agents - including ligands, cytokines, and antibodies. Efficacy of anti-cancer action has been shown in 5 separate solid cancer indications with reduction in tumour size averaging 80% - but in many cases showing complete eradication. This game changing approach is of particular value to companies with proprietary molecules that are looking for safe and effective vectoring into tumors, and with whom we might partner.
