Personalized cancer immunotherapy for aggressive, hypoxic tumors with blockbuster potential
MABPRO, a.s. is building an immunotherapy platform and companion diagnostics for aggressive, hypoxic tumors using Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CA IX) as the therapeutic target and mechanism of action.
Extensive scientific literature, pre-clinical research and previous clinical studies confirm that targeting hypoxic tumors with CA IX can lead to highly effective immunotherapies for both solid and lymphomatic tumors.
