| "We are delighted to be on the shortlist for Technology of the Year among companies listed on the AIM market. Our pre | CISION® technology changes the way that potent cancer therapies are delivered to patients, where the drug is silent in the bloodstream yet active in the tumor, allowing cancer cells to be targeted while preserving patient vitality. We look forward to the event next month." | |||
| About the pre | CISION® Platform | |||
| The pre | CISION® platform comprises an anticancer payload conjugated to a proprietary peptide that is a highly specific substrate for fibroblast activation protein (FAP) which is upregulated in most solid tumors compared with healthy tissues. The pre | CISION® platform harnesses this tumor specific protease to cleave pre | CISION® peptide drug conjugates and pre | CISION® antibody/Affimer® drug conjugates in the tumor microenvironment, thus releasing active payload in the tumor and reducing systemic exposure and toxicity, allowing dosing to be optimized to deliver the best outcomes for patients. |
