Another magic cure against cancer. Post No 46. Zoptarelin doxorubicin (AEZS-108)

 

Zoptarelin doxorubicin (AEZS-108) represents a new targeting concept in oncology using a hybrid molecule composed of a synthetic peptide carrier and a well-known chemotherapy agent, doxorubicin. Zoptarelin doxorubicin (AEZS-108) is the first intravenous drug in advanced clinical development that directs the chemotherapy agent specifically to LHRH-receptor expressing tumors, resulting in a more targeted treatment with less damage to healthy tissue. The Company is currently conducting a Phase 3 trial in endometrial cancer under a Special Protocol Assessment, while zoptarelin doxorubicin (AEZS-108) is also in Phase 2 trials for triple-negative breast cancer, prostate cancer and bladder cancer. Aeterna Zentaris owns the worldwide rights to zoptarelin doxorubicin (AEZS-108).
