Lead Product in Development:
3 promising investigational drugs are under development: VS-101 and VS-301 enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, while VS-501 inhibits cancer metastasis.
VS-101 is a potent oral radiosensitizer that enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation when combined with radiotherapy. VS-101 causes DNA damage, directly and indirectly enhances ROS generation by irradiation, and binds to IAP to induce apoptosis. Ultimately it enhances the efficacy of radiation therapy and enables us to use low doses of radiation. Phase 2 clinical trial in the US has embarked while Phase 1 clinical trial in Korea has been underway.
