About Oncology Venture A/S Oncology Venture A/S is engaged in the research and development of anti-cancer drugs via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncology Venture ApS. Oncology Venture uses Drug Response Prediction - DRP ® -to significantly increase the probability of success in clinical trials. DRP ® has proven its ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients in 29 out of 37 clinical studies that were examined and is currently demonstrating promising results in an ongoing phase 2 study of LiPlaCis in metastatic breast cancer. The Company uses a model that alters the odds in comparison with traditional pharmaceutical development. Instead of treating all patients with a particular type of cancer, patients' tumors genes are first screened, and only the patients most likely to respond to the treatment will be treated. Via a more well-defined patient group, risks and costs are reduced while the development process becomes more efficient.
The current product portfolio includes: LiPlaCis® a liposomal formulation of cisplatin in ongoing phase 2 for breast cancer; 2X-121 a PARP Inhibitor in ongoing phase 2 for breast cancer, dovitinib to be initiated for breast cancer, 2X-111 phase 2 a liposomal formulation of doxorubicin under manufacturing for phase 2 in breast cancer, irofulven phase 2 to be initiated for prostate cancer; and APO010, an immuno-oncology product in phase 1/2 for multiple myeloma.
Oncology Venture has spun out two companies as Special Purpose Vehicles: Oncology Venture U.S. Inc. (previously 2X Oncology Inc.), a US-based precision medicine company, focusing on developing 2X-121 and 2X-111, and OV-SPV 2, a Danish company that will test and develop dovitinib.
