+Added: a primary tumor, or a metastatic tumor;
+Added: and cancer stem cells.
+Added: The PDC platform’s mechanism of entry is not designed to rely upon a specific cell surface epitope or antigen as are required by other targeted delivery platforms but rather a unique change in the tumor cell membrane.
+Added: Our PDC platform takes advantage of a metabolic pathway (beta oxidation) utilized by nearly all tumor cell types in all stages of the tumor cycle.
+Added: Tumor cells modify the cell membrane to create specific, highly organized microdomains by which to transport lipids and long chain fatty acids into the cytoplasm, as a result of the utilization of this metabolic pathway.
+Added: Our PDCs are designed to bind to these regions and directly enter the intracellular compartment.
+Added: This mechanism allows the PDC molecules to accumulate in tumor cells over time, which we believe can enhance drug efficacy.
+Added: The direct intracellular delivery allows our molecules to avoid the specialized, highly acidic cellular compartment known as lysosomes, which allows a PDC to deliver payloads that previously could not be delivered in this targeted manner.
+Added: Additionally, molecules targeting specific cell surface epitopes face challenges in completely eliminating a tumor because the targeted antigens are limited in the total number presented on the cell surface, limiting total potential uptake and resulting in heterogenous uptake across the tumor, have longer cycling time from internalization to relocation on the cell surface, again diminishing their availability for binding, and are not present on all of the tumor cells because of the heterogenous nature of cancer cells, further increasing the unequal distribution of the drug across the tumor.
+Added: This means a subpopulation of tumor cells always exists that cannot be addressed by therapies targeting specific surface epitopes.
+Added: Additionally, epitopes utilized are often present on normal tissue, resulting in on-target toxicities.
+Added: Beyond the benefits provided by the mechanism of entry, the PDC platform features include the capacity to link with almost any molecule, provide a significant increase in targeted oncologic payload delivery, a more uniform delivery and the ability to target all types of tumor cells.
+Added: As a result, we believe that we can create PDCs to treat a broad range of cancers with the potential to improve the therapeutic index of oncologic drug payloads, enhance or maintain efficacy while also reducing adverse events by minimizing drug delivery to healthy cells, and increasing delivery to cancerous cells and cancer stem cells.
+Added: We employ a drug discovery and development approach that allows us to efficiently design, research and advance drug candidates.
+Added: Our iterative process allows us to rapidly and systematically produce multiple generations of incrementally improved targeted drug candidates without the expense of having to generate significant compound libraries.

+Added: Approval and Regulation of Medical Products in the EU
+Added: Changes to EU’s General Pharmaceutical Law
+Added: The EU’s pharmaceutical legislation is currently changing.
+Added: In December 2025, the EU legislators reached an agreement on the proposed new rules.
+Added: This provisional agreement needs to be endorsed by both the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, before being formally adopted and entering into force upon publication in the EU’s Official Journal.
+Added: The final text is not yet available, but key changes will include:
+Added: ● one year reduction in base-line regulatory market protection;
+Added: ● re-coup option of lost regulatory market product with strict conditions;
+Added: ● launch and supply obligations with non-compliance resulting in loss of regulatory data protection and market protection at Member State level;
+Added: ● expansion of the Bolar exemption to health technology assessments, pricing, and reimbursement submissions;
+Added: ● reduction in the “standard” orphan market exclusivity period;
+Added: ● transferable data exclusivity voucher for priority antimicrobials;
+Added: ● shortened EMA review timelines and other procedural reforms.
+Added: The new legislation is expected to enter into application in 24 months.
+Added: Other proposed EU acts, such as the Critical Medicines Act and the Biotech Act, may bring additional changes.
+Added: In addition to regulations in the U.S., we will be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of our products outside of the U.S.
+Added: Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product candidate, we must obtain approval by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries or economic areas, such as the EMA, before we may commence clinical trials or market products in those countries or areas.
+Added: In the EU, our product candidates also may be subject to extensive regulatory requirements.
+Added: As in the U.S., medicinal products can be marketed only if a marketing authorization from the competent regulatory agency/ies has been obtained (and some Member States also require that a price has been agreed).
+Added: Similar to the U.S., the various phases of preclinical and clinical research in the EU are subject to significant regulatory controls.
+Added: The EU/European Economic Area (EEA) applies harmonized regulatory rules for medicinal products, including the approval process and requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials.
+Added: However, certain aspects, in particular pricing and reimbursement, may vary greatly between the Member States and countries and can involve additional testing and additional administrative review periods.
+Added: The time required to obtain approval in other countries and jurisdictions might differ from and be longer than that required to obtain FDA approval.
+Added: Regulatory approval in one country or jurisdiction does not ensure regulatory approval in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country or jurisdiction may negatively impact the regulatory process in others.
+Added: Non-clinical Studies
+Added: Non-clinical studies are performed to demonstrate the health or environmental safety of new chemical or biological substances.
+Added: Non-clinical (pharmacotoxicological) studies must be conducted in compliance with the principles of GLP as set forth in EU Directive 2004/10/EC (unless otherwise justified for certain particular medicinal products).
+Added: In particular, non-clinical studies, both in vitro and in vivo, must be planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived in accordance with the GLP principles, which define a set of rules and criteria for a quality system for the organizational process and the conditions for non-clinical studies.
+Added: These GLP standards reflect the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) requirements.
+Added: Clinical Trials
+Added: The Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 (CTR) simplifies and streamlines the authorization, conduct and transparency of clinical trials in the EU.
+Added: Under the coordinated procedure for the approval of clinical trials, the sponsor of a clinical trial to be conducted in more than one EU Member State submits a single application for approval through the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS), a clinical trials portal overseen by the EMA and available to clinical trial sponsors, competent authorities of the EU Member States and the public.
+Added: The main characteristics of the regulation include:
+Added: a streamlined application procedure via a single entry point, the CTIS;
+Added: a single set of documents to be prepared and submitted for the application as well as simplified reporting procedures for clinical trial sponsors;
+Added: and a harmonized procedure for the assessment of applications for clinical trials, which is divided in two parts.
+Added: Part I is assessed by the appointed reporting EU Member State, whose assessment report is submitted for review by the sponsor and all other competent authorities of all EU Member States in which an application for authorization of a clinical trial has been submitted, or concerned EU Member States.
+Added: Part II is assessed separately by each concerned EU Member State.
+Added: Strict deadlines have been established for the assessment of clinical trial applications.
+Added: The role of the relevant ethics committees in the assessment procedure are governed by the national law of the concerned EU Member State.
+Added: However, overall related timelines will be defined by the CTR.
+Added: A sponsor must obtain prior approval from the competent national authority of the EU Member State(s) in which the clinical trial is to be conducted.
+Added: If the clinical trial is conducted in different EU Member States, the competent authorities in each of these EU Member States must provide their approval for the conduct of the clinical trial.
+Added: Furthermore, the sponsor may only start a clinical trial at a specific clinical site after the applicable ethics committee has issued a favorable opinion.
+Added: Parties conducting certain clinical trials must provide clinical trial information and a summary of results in accordance with applicable EU transparency requirements.
+Added: Marketing Authorization
+Added: Marketing authorization applications (MAAs) can be filed through the centralized procedure or the national procedures through the decentralized procedure or the mutual recognition procedure.
+Added: The centralized procedure provides for the grant of a single marketing authorization (MA) following a decision by the European Commission, based on a favorable opinion by the EMA, that is valid in all EU Member States, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, which are part of the EEA.
+Added: The centralized procedure is compulsory for medicines produced by specified biotechnological processes, products designated as orphan medicinal products, advanced-therapy medicines (such as gene-therapy, somatic cell-therapy or tissue-engineered medicines), and products with a new active substance indicated for the treatment of specified diseases, including HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders or autoimmune diseases, and other immune dysfunctions and viral diseases.
+Added: The centralized procedure is optional for products that represent a significant therapeutic, scientific, or technical innovation, or whose authorization would be in the interest of public health.
+Added: Under the centralized procedure the maximum timeframe for the evaluation of an MAA by the EMA is 210 days, excluding clock stops, when additional written or oral information is to be provided by the sponsor in response to questions asked by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP).
+Added: Accelerated assessment might be granted by the CHMP in exceptional cases, when a medicinal product is expected to be of a major public health interest, particularly from the point of view of therapeutic innovation.
+Added: The timeframe for the evaluation of an MAA under the accelerated assessment procedure is 150 days, excluding stop-clocks.
+Added: The national procedures allow for two other possible routes to authorize medicinal products in several EU countries, which are available for medicinal products that fall outside the scope of the centralized procedure:
+Added: ● Decentralized procedure .
+Added: Using the decentralized procedure, a sponsor may apply for simultaneous authorization in more than one EU country of medicinal products that have not yet been authorized in any EU country and that do not fall within the mandatory scope of the centralized procedure.
+Added: The sponsor may choose a Member State as the reference Member State to lead the scientific evaluation of the application.
+Added: ● Mutual recognition procedure .
+Added: In the mutual recognition procedure, a medicine is first authorized in one EU Member State (which acts as the reference Member State), in accordance with the national procedures of that country.
+Added: Following this, further marketing authorizations can be progressively sought from other EU countries in a procedure whereby the countries concerned agree to recognize the validity of the original, national marketing authorization produced by the reference Member State.
+Added: Under the above-described procedures, before granting the marketing authorization, the EMA (in the centralized procedure) or the competent authorities of the Member States of the EEA (in the national, decentralized and mutual recognition procedures) make an assessment of the risk-benefit balance of the product on the basis of scientific criteria concerning its quality, safety, and efficacy.
+Added: MAs have an initial duration of five years.
+Added: After these five years, the authorization may be renewed on the basis of a reevaluation of the risk-benefit balance.
+Added: Conditional Approval
+Added: In certain circumstances, Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 enables sponsors to obtain a conditional marketing authorization (CMA), subject to meeting specific obligations within defined timelines.
+Added: Such obligations could include ongoing or now studies or collecting additional data to confirm the medicine’s benefit-risk balance remains positive.
+Added: Such conditional approvals may be granted for product candidates (including medicines designated as orphan medicinal products) if (1) the product candidate is intended for the treatment, prevention, or medical diagnosis of seriously debilitating or life-threatening diseases;
+Added: (2) the product candidate is intended to meet unmet medical needs of patients;
+Added: (3) the benefit of the immediate availability on the market of the medicinal product concerned
+Added: outweighs the risk inherent in the fact that additional data are still required;
+Added: (4) the risk-benefit balance of the product candidate is positive, and (5) it is likely that the sponsor will be in a position to provide the required comprehensive clinical trial data.
+Added: A conditional marketing authorization may contain specific obligations to be fulfilled by the marketing authorization holder, including obligations with respect to the completion of ongoing or new studies and with respect to the collection of pharmacovigilance data.
+Added: Conditional marketing authorizations are valid for one year, and may be renewed annually, if the risk-benefit balance remains positive, and after an assessment of the need for additional or modified conditions or specific obligations.
+Added: The timelines for the centralized procedure described above also apply with respect to the review by the CHMP of applications for a conditional marketing authorization.
+Added: Pediatric Studies
+Added: Prior to obtaining a marketing authorization in the EU, sponsors have to demonstrate compliance with all measures included in an EMA-approved Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP), covering all subsets of the pediatric population, unless the EMA has granted a product-specific waiver, a class waiver, or a deferral for one or more of the measures included in the PIP.
+Added: The respective requirements for all marketing authorization procedures are set forth in Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006, which is referred to as the Pediatric Regulation.
+Added: This requirement also applies when a company wants to add a new indication, pharmaceutical form, or route of administration for a medicine that is already authorized.
+Added: The EMA’s Pediatric Committee (PDCO) may grant deferrals for some medicines, allowing a company to delay development of the medicine in children until there is enough information to demonstrate its effectiveness and safety in adults.
+Added: The PDCO may also grant waivers when development of a medicine in children is not needed or is not appropriate because (a) the product is likely to be ineffective or unsafe in part or all of the pediatric population;
+Added: (b) the disease or condition occurs only in the adult population;
+Added: or (c) the product does not represent a significant therapeutic benefit over existing treatments for the pediatric population.
+Added: Before a marketing authorization application can be filed, or an existing marketing authorization can be amended, the EMA determines that companies actually comply with the agreed studies and measures listed in each relevant PIP.
+Added: PRIME Designation
+Added: The EMA’s PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) scheme aims to facilitate the development of product candidates in indications, often rare, for which few or no therapies currently exist and provides accelerated assessment of products representing substantial innovation reviewed under the centralized procedure.
+Added: Products from small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may qualify for early entry into the PRIME scheme.
+Added: Many benefits accrue to sponsors of product candidates with PRIME designation, including but not limited to, early and proactive regulatory dialogue with the EMA, frequent discussions on clinical trial designs and other development program elements, and accelerated MAA assessment once a dossier has been submitted.
+Added: Importantly, a dedicated agency contact and rapporteur from the CHMP or Committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT) are appointed early in the PRIME scheme, facilitating increased understanding of the product at EMA’s Committee level.
+Added: A kick-off meeting initiates these relationships and includes a team of multidisciplinary experts at the EMA to provide guidance to the sponsor on the overall development and regulatory strategies.
+Added: Periods of Authorization and Renewals
+Added: A MA is valid for five years in principle and the MA may be renewed after five years on the basis of a re-evaluation of the risk-benefit balance by the EMA or by the competent authority of the authorizing Member State.
+Added: Once renewed, the MA is valid for an unlimited period, unless the European Commission or the competent authorities decide, on justified grounds relating to pharmacovigilance, to proceed with one additional five-year renewal.
+Added: Any authorization which is not followed by the actual placing of the drug on the EU market (three years after the marketing authorization is granted (or, where previously marketed, is no longer actually present on the market for three consecutive years) may cease to be valid (the so-called sunset clause).
+Added: Regulatory Requirements after Marketing Authorization
+Added: As in the U.S., both MA holders and manufacturers of medicinal products are subject to comprehensive regulatory oversight by the EMA and the competent authorities of the individual EU Member States both before and after grant of the manufacturing and marketing authorizations.
+Added: The holder of an EU MA for a medicinal product must, for example, comply with EU pharmacovigilance legislation and its related regulations and guidelines which entail many requirements for conducting pharmacovigilance, or the assessment and monitoring of the safety of medicinal products.
+Added: The manufacturing process for medicinal products in the EU is also highly regulated and regulators may shut down manufacturing facilities that they believe do not comply with regulations.
+Added: Manufacturing requires a manufacturing authorization, and the manufacturing authorization holder must comply with various
+Added: requirements set out in the applicable EU laws, including compliance with EU cGMP standards when manufacturing medicinal products and API.
+Added: In the EU, advertising of medicinal products is strictly regulated at EU level under Directive 2001/83/EC, which prohibits direct-to-consumer advertising for prescription drugs, while permitting advertising for over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, subject to specific conditions.
+Added: In addition, the advertising and promotion of authorized products are governed by EU Member States’ national laws, including rules on the promotion of medicinal products, interactions with clinicians, misleading and comparative advertising, and unfair commercial practices.
+Added: Promotional materials and advertising relating to medicinal products must comply with the product’s Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) as approved by the competent authorities.
+Added: Promotion that is inconsistent with, or goes beyond, the approved SmPC is considered to constitute unlawful promotion (referred to as off-label promotion) and is prohibited in the EU.
+Added: Regulatory Exclusivity
+Added: In the EU, new products authorized for marketing (i.e., reference products) qualify for eight years of data exclusivity and an additional two years of market exclusivity upon marketing authorization.
+Added: The data exclusivity period prevents generic sponsors from relying on the preclinical and clinical trial data contained in the dossier of the reference product when applying for a generic marketing authorization in the EU during a period of eight years from the date on which the reference product was first authorized in the EU.
+Added: The market exclusivity period prevents a successful generic sponsor from commercializing its product in the EU until 10 years have elapsed from the initial authorization of the reference product in the EU.
+Added: The ten-year market exclusivity period can be extended to a maximum of 11 years if, during the first eight years of those ten years, the marketing authorization holder obtains an authorization for one or more new therapeutic indications which, during the scientific evaluation prior to their authorization, are held to bring a significant clinical benefit in comparison with existing therapies.
+Added: The above-described regulatory exclusivity rules will change with the newly adopted revised EU pharmaceutical legislation, introducing amongst other a one year base-line reduction of market exclusivity which can be “recouped” under certain circumstances.
+Added: Orphan Drug Designation and Exclusivity
+Added: The criteria for designating an orphan medicinal product in the EU are similar in principle to those in the U.S.
+Added: Under Article 3 of Regulation (EC) 141/2000, a medicinal product may be designated as orphan if (1) it is intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a life-threatening or chronically debilitating condition, (2) either (a) such condition affects no more than five in 10,000 persons in the EU when the application is made, or (b) the product, without the benefits derived from orphan status, would not generate sufficient return in the EU to justify investment, and (3) there exists no satisfactory method of diagnosis, prevention or treatment of such condition authorized for marketing in the EU, or if such a method exists, the product will be of significant benefit to those affected by the condition.
+Added: The term ‘significant benefit’ is defined in Regulation (EC) 847/2000 to mean a clinically relevant advantage or a major contribution to patient care.
+Added: Orphan medicinal products are eligible for financial incentives such as reduction of fees or fee waivers and are, upon grant of a marketing authorization, entitled to 10 years of market exclusivity for the approved therapeutic indication.
+Added: During this ten-year market exclusivity period, the EMA or the competent authorities of the Member States of the EEA cannot accept an application for a marketing authorization for a similar medicinal product for the same indication.
+Added: A similar medicinal product is defined as a medicinal product containing a similar active substance or substances as contained in an authorized orphan medicinal product, and which is intended for the same therapeutic indication.
+Added: The application for orphan designation must be submitted before the application for marketing authorization.
+Added: The sponsor will receive a fee reduction for the MAA if the orphan designation has been granted, but not if the designation is still pending at the time the marketing authorization is submitted.
+Added: Orphan designation does not convey any advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the regulatory review and approval process.
+Added: In the EU, to maintain an ODD, a sponsor must demonstrate that it still satisfies the orphan designation criteria at the time of the marketing authorization.
+Added: This includes a requirement for the sponsor to demonstrate ‘significant benefit’ compared with any treatments that are authorized at the time of the re-evaluation of the orphan criteria.
+Added: Comparators may include products that are authorized after the sponsor has submitted its marketing authorization, but before the sponsor’s orphan designation criteria have be re-assessed.
+Added: The ten-year market exclusivity in the EU may be reduced to six years if, at the end of the fifth year, it is established that the product no longer meets the criteria for orphan designation, for example, if the product is sufficiently profitable not to justify maintenance of market exclusivity.
+Added: Additionally, marketing authorization may be granted to a similar product for the same indication at any time if:
+Added: (1) the second sponsor can establish that its product, although similar, is safer, more effective, or otherwise clinically superior;
+Added: (2) the sponsor consents to a second orphan medicinal product application;
+Added: or (3) the sponsor cannot supply enough orphan medicinal product.
+Added: The above-described ODD rules will change with the newly adopted revised EU pharmaceutical legislation, introducing amongst other a one year base-line reduction of market exclusivity to nine years (but 11 years for a new breakthrough orphan category).
+Added: Other changes also include only additional one year of market exclusivity for new orphan indication, which can be granted maximum twice.
+Added: Reimbursement and Pricing of Prescription Pharmaceuticals
+Added: In the EU, similar political, economic, and regulatory developments to those in the U.S.
+Added: may affect our ability to profitably commercialize our product candidates, if approved.
+Added: In many countries, including those of the EU, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to governmental control and access.
+Added: In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of MA for a product.
+Added: To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct clinical trials that compare the cost-effectiveness of our products to other available therapies.
+Added: The EU provides options for its Member States to restrict the range of products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use.
+Added: EU Member States may approve a specific price for a product, or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the product on the market.
+Added: Other Member States allow companies to fix their own prices for products but monitor and control prescription volumes and issue guidance to physicians to limit prescriptions.
+Added: Recently, many countries in the EU have increased the amount of discounts required on pharmaceuticals and these efforts could continue as countries attempt to manage healthcare expenditures, especially in light of the severe fiscal and debt crises experienced by many countries in the EU.
+Added: The downward pressure on healthcare costs in general, particularly prescription products, has become intense.
+Added: As a result, increasingly high barriers are being erected to the entry of new products.
+Added: Political, economic, and regulatory developments may further complicate pricing negotiations, and pricing negotiations may continue after reimbursement has been obtained.
+Added: Reference pricing used by various EU Member States, and parallel trade (i.e., arbitrage between low-priced and high-priced Member States) can further reduce prices.
+Added: There can be no assurance that any country that has price controls or reimbursement limitations for pharmaceutical products will allow favorable reimbursement and pricing arrangements for any product candidates, if approved in those countries.
