Cancer is a group of diseases driven by
abnormalities in fundamental cell processes and
characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread
of abnormal cells. In the U.S., cancer is
the second leading cause of death, with 550,000
deaths and 1,400,000 new cases expected annually
according to the American Cancer Society.
New drug approvals are slow, and the mainstay of
treatment remains older chemotherapy agents,
many of which are associated with significant
side effects. Our ability to dramatically
improve on efficacy and side effect profiles of
existing chemotherapeutic agents represents an
enormous opportunity for Chikujee’s Drugs on
Target TM technology
platform.
Chikujee’s initial product pipeline is focused
on commercializing it Generics to Brand
TM product line. Using
the accelerated regulatory approval pathway for
currently marketed chemotherapy agents that are
out of patent protection, we expect to
commercialize our novel class of targeted
therapeutics within the next three to four
years.
