Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and is also becoming a major public health problem in Southeast Asia. Management of Cancer is primarily driven by either surgery or by drugs and/or radiation. However, approximately 80% of cancer patients do not survive more than 10 years. Cancer is a genomic disease, and every patient is unique and different. We need to have customized medicine for any given patient. Many of the current Cancer therapeutics are not customized. CAR-Ts has shown great success in a limited number of hematological Cancers but not in solid Cancers yet.
We are developing personalized CAR-Ts to target both primary and metastasized Cancers based on our understanding of tumor microenvironments and antigen heterogeneity. CanFins will also develop an allogenic CAR-T platform to expedite personalized CAR-Ts for solid tumors.
The Global Cancer therapeutic market is ~ USD 150 Billion and is expected to be more than USD 400B by 2027.
