- Targets cancer cells with CCK-B receptors, significantly impacting pancreatic cancer treatment
- Utilizes biodegradable, non-toxic nanoparticles for efficient siRNA delivery
- Offers potential for broader application across various cancers expressing similar receptors
OVERVIEW
This technology introduces biodegradable nanoparticles designed to target cancer cells expressing the CCK-B receptor, which is particularly effective in pancreatic cancer treatment. These nanoparticles facilitate siRNA delivery, enabling specialized, targeted cancer treatment with the potential for higher efficacy and lower side effects than conventional therapies.
BACKGROUND
Focusing on the urgent need for effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers like pancreatic cancer, this innovation represents a significant advancement in targeted cancer therapy. Its development is underpinned by rigorous scientific research and a strong patent position.
Benefit
●Provides a targeted approach to cancer therapy, potentially increasing treatment efficacy while reducing side effects.
●Opens new avenues for the treatment of cancers with CCK-B receptor expression, beyond pancreatic cancer.
●Enhances patient outcomes through precision medicine, aligning with current trends in oncology.
Market Application
●Primary application in treating pancreatic cancer, with potential expansion to other cancers such as lung, stomach, and colon cancers.
●Applicable in both therapeutic settings and as part of a comprehensive treatment regimen, including in combination with other therapies.
