Accession Therapeutics’ Trocept technology is based on over a decade’s work and has generated exceptional preclinical data.Accession Therapeutics’ proprietary technology incorporates cancer-tropic viruses, the first time that viruses have been genetically modified to exclusively target cancer cells. As non-cancerous cells are not targeted by Trocept, systemic toxicity is eliminated meaning the drugs can be delivered intravenously and traffic to the tumour. Trocept’s highly potent and local activity gives it potential in some of the hardest to treat and most widespread forms of cancer. This includes breast, cervical, colorectal, gastric, head and neck, lung, oral, ovarian and pancreatic cancer.
