About Panavance Therapeutics
Panavance Therapeutics Inc. is a privately-held, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing a novel oncology platform focused on improving the effectiveness of cancer treatments and quality of life for patients. The Company, located in Berwyn, PA was founded in 2021 and continues to be funded by Avensis Pharma AG, a subsidiary of Swiss privately held Ed. Geistlich Söhne AG für Chemische Industrie. Panavance’s lead program, GP-2250, is a tumor cell selective and broadly active small molecule with a unique mechanism of action designed to disrupt energy metabolism, resulting in cancer cell death. GP-2250 is currently in a Phase 1 trial in pancreatic cancer patients. The Company is rapidly advancing towards a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial, projected to start in the second half of 2023, as a first-line maintenance therapy for pancreatic cancer in non-BRCA mutation patients, a population for which there are no FDA approved agents. Additionally, GP-2250 is being developed for the treatment of ovarian cancer in combination with leading anti-cancer agents based on promising preclinical data. The Company expects to initiate a potential registration directed Phase 1/2 clinical study in ovarian cancer which is expected to start in the second half of 2023. GP-2250 has broad oncology applications and has the potential to be effective in additional indications, including melanoma, squamous cell, breast and colorectal cancers.
