Partnering

Partnering

We have completed a Phase I clinical trial for ABC294640 in solid tumor cancers and are starting a Phase Ib/II trial in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.  We are interested in building relationships for partnering or out-licensing ABC294640 and/or our SK inhibitor platform for expanded clinical development and commercialization.  We are interested in discussing opportunities for accelerating the clinical development of our technology.  We are flexible and open to many forms of relationships.  For more information, please contact Sil Lutkewitte at sil_lutkewitte@apogee-biotech.com.
