Projectdetails

Introduction

VBL therapeutics is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on first-in-class treatments for cancer.

Product Candidate

VBL's lead oncology product candidate, VB-111, is an innovative targeted anti-cancer gene therapy with potential to treat a wide range of solid tumors.

Mechanism of Action

Most cancer therapies aim to target tumor cells while sparing normal cells, but tumors are heterogeneous and often develop resistance to treatment. Instead of targeting the tumor directly, VB-111 targets the tumor environment by:

  • Disrupting the blood vessels that supply blood to the tumor
  • Recruiting the immune system into the tumor

This dual mechanism of action, together with an excellent safety profile, makes VB-111 a game-changer.

Indication and Clinical Trial

VBL is pursuing Ovarian Cancer as the first indication for VB-111. In the scope of this project, VBL will finalize a Phase 3 potential-registration clinical trial, the OVAL study, as well as execute all the necessary steps towards final regulatory approvals and commercialization.
