| Viventia is focused on
using UnLock™
to identify novel oncology drug targets and
develop human monoclonal antibodies against those targets
to continue to build a portfolio of new product development
candidates. The Company’s research has identified
12 patentable new oncology drug targets and their corresponding
human monoclonal antibodies to date. These targets represent
new product development opportunities in oncology, demonstrating
a breadth of expression against the most prevalent forms
of solid epithelial tumors, while exhibiting limited normal
tissue expression. Continuing target identification, characterization
and expression profiling research is planned for 2008 across
these programs. |
