APIM Therapeutics AS is a venture-capital financed biotech spin-off from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, Trondheim).
The company targets a novel therapeutic intervention point shown to be critical in the regulation of cellular responses to stress and in tumor evasion from therapy. ATX-101, our lead drug candidate is currently being tested in ovarian cancer (phase Ib) and sarcoma (phase II) patients.
APIM Therapeutics AS is developing a pipeline of peptide drugs that target PCNA-dependent stress responses in cancer cells.
A recent publication in Cancers reveals new mechanistic insights on the anti-cancer action of ATX-101, see our Publications section for more details.
By exploiting a novel therapeutic target, our vision is to develop novel single agent & combinatorial cancer treatments with the potential to address serious unmet patient needs.
