About AEG35156
AEG35156, a second generation antisense which targets XIAP, is designed to lower the apoptotic threshold of cancer cells, enhancing their sensitivity to intrinsic death and chemotherapy. Aegera's published data with AEG35156, both in vitro and in vivo, strongly supports this hypothesis, and validates XIAP as a novel oncology drug target. The activity of AEG35156 is currently being explored, in combination, or as a monotherapy, in the following indications: acute myeloid leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocarcinoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia and indolent B-cell lymphomas. The latter study is being conducted with the financial and scientific support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through their innovative Therapy Acceleration Program.
