Cellectar Biosciences signs oncology collaboration with Pierre Fabre

16 December 2015

Privately-held French pharma firm Pierre Fabre has entered into a research collaboration designed to combine USA-based Cellectar Biosciences’ (Nasdaq: CLRB) proprietary PDC delivery platform with a selection of Pierre Fabre’s proprietary cytotoxics.

These new small-molecule-drug-conjugate products (SMDCs) are designed to exhibit high selectivity towards cancer cells in order to expand therapeutic index and provide improved clinical performance to otherwise highly potent agents.

Phospholipid drug conjugates (PDCs) are a new class of small-molecules that employ Cellectar’s extensively validated phospholipid ether-based cancer targeting and delivery vehicle. The PDC platform possesses the ability to incorporate diverse oncologic payloads for targeted delivery to a broad range of solid and liquid tumors, including brain metastases, and to cancer stem cells.
