Canadian clinical-stage oncology company ProNAi Therapeutics has appointed Barbara Klencke as chief development officer.

Dr Klencke is an accomplished oncology drug developer and has made substantial contributions to the development and approval of several important oncology products such as Kyprolis (carfilzomib) and Avastin (bevacizumab).

Nick Glover, president and chief executive of ProNAi Therapeutics, said: "Barbara has extensive experience leading the strategic development of novel oncology compounds and advancing these products successfully through the registration process. Our ability to attract such a highly-respected strategic drug development expert as Dr Klencke reflects the scope of the opportunity for our lead DNAi-based cancer drug, PNT2258, and for the broader potential of the DNAi technology platform underlying our novel approach to treating cancer."
