About Cascade Prodrug, Inc.
Cascade Prodrug is an oncology focused biotechnology company employing a unique platform technology targeting hypoxia, a common feature of the tumor microenvironment, to develop small molecule prodrugs that are inactive at oxygen normal tissue levels but convert to its cytotoxic form around the hypoxic regions of tumors, selectively killing cancer and immunosuppressive cells. Our lead candidate CPD100Li has shown robust in-vivo activity in multiple tumor types including lung, colon and pancreatic cancer as a stand-alone agent or in combination with chemotherapeutics and checkpoint inhibitors.
CPD100Li is currently entering IND-enabling studies and will initially target pancreatic cancer as well as combinations with check point inhibitors. In 2022, Cascade was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for the treatment of pancreatic cancer for CDP100Li. For more information on Cascade and CPD100Li please visit www.cascadeprodrug.com.
