Corporate Overview
Alteris Therapeutics, Inc (formerly called Spliceomix, Inc) is
focused on the discovery and development of therapeutics and vaccines
against novel, proprietary cancer targets. Alteris has identified
targets found only on cancer cells; normal cells do not express
these targets. The Company’s first compound, ALT - 110 , is
currently being tested in a Phase 1 clinical vaccine trial against
one such target. In addition, Alteris has identified a second proprietary
target, which is the focus of both a therapeutic and a vaccine drug
discovery program. The Company expects to move a therapeutic monoclonal
antibody product against this target to preclinical development
by end of 2004. These initial targets have been implicated in a
wide variety of cancers, including those of the breast, prostate,
lung, ovary, and central nervous system. Using its proprietary RIAS
discovery platform to identify and patent novel targets from cancer
cells and tissues, the Company intends to create a robust pipeline
of highly expressed tumor specific targets and develop therapeutics
or vaccines against the most promising candidates.
