Strategy

Our strategy is to leverage our deep internal capabilities in the clinical development of oncolytic virotherapies to create a leading immunotherapy company. We plan to discover, develop and commercialize next-generation products for the treatment of a broad range of cancers, including solid tumors, many of which are among the most difficult cancers to treat. Key elements of our strategy include:

  • Advance our lead product candidate, Olvi-Vec, through clinical development and seek regulatory approval.
  • Support our collaborative partner, Newsoara Biopharma Co., Ltd., in the development of Olvi-Vec and other proprietary viral products for human uses in Greater China.
  • Support ELIAS Animal Health, our exclusive worldwide licensee, in the development of V-VET1 for cancer in non-human animals.
  • Support our joint venture, V2ACT Therapeutics, LLC, in the clinical and commercial development of V2ACT Immunotherapy.
  • Seek additional development and commercial collaborations for Olvi-Vec and our other human therapeutic product candidates.
  • Leverage our CHOICETM discovery platform to build a portfolio of oncology product candidates that target a range of immune mechanisms.
  • Broaden and strengthen our internal manufacturing capabilities, utilizing our in-house manufacturing facility.
  • Build our organization into a fully integrated therapeutics company.
