A central goal of cancer therapy is to selectively target the tumor and minimize toxicity for healthy tissue. Hamlet Biopharma is developing new therapeutic solutions for targeting and killing tumor cells with greater precision. Alpha1H is one of Hamlet Biopharma’s main drug candidates. Alpha1H is a synthetically manufactured peptide in complex with oleic acid and an efficient anti-tumor drug candidate for the treatment of bladder cancer and brain tumors.
Bladder cancer
In patients with bladder cancer, Alpha1H has been shown to target the tumors, without harming healthy tissues in treated patients. Bladder cancer is common, treatment is costly and often inefficient and there is a great need for new therapies.
