Developing precision small molecules to combat hard-to-treat tumors.
Over ons
iOnctura is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company combating neglected and hard-to-treat cancers with precision oral small molecules that target cancers in novel ways. The bold new treatments extend lives and improve healthspans, changing the outlook for patients and their families. Two therapeutic candidates have progressed into mid-stage clinical development: roginolisib is the first allosteric modulator of PI3Kδ and cambritaxestat is the only autotaxin inhibitor in clinical development to treat cancer.

In this week's Meet Our Team series we introduce... 🌟 SVP New Product Planning & Business Transformation Paul Beresford 🌟 A seasoned veteran in oncology rare disease product launches, Paul joins the iOnctura team to guide our strategy as we bring our clinical products towards the market. Getting drugs into the hands of patients requires more than just good data. With Paul's guidance we are preparing to meet the needs of payors and health technology assessment organisations as well as building our company to optimize future product launches. When not planning product launches, Paul can be found on rugby pitches across Switzerland, planning strategies to lead the teams he coaches to victory 🏉 #meettheteam #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Are you at #ENA2024 today? If so, we invite you to pop by Chiara Tarantelli's poster from the laboratory of our collaborator Francesco Bertoni this afternoon. By using genome-wide genetic screening, Chiara's work identifed genes modulating lymphoma cells’ response to our allosteric modulator of PI3Kδ #roginolisib. She further identified potential biomarkers of response and highlighted potential combination partners to be explored further.

💡 NEW RESEARCH PUBLISHED 💡 We are thrilled to annouce today the peer-reviewed publication of research results supporting the potential of autotaxin-targeted drugs, such as our #cambritaxestat, in #gastric cancer. The research showed that ENPP2 mutations (the gene that makes the enzyme autotaxin) were associated with poor overall survival in gastric cancer and circulating autotaxin levels were associated with an increased risk of death. Given these findings, autotaxin inhibitors may be useful for combining with standard regimes in appropriately selected gastric cancer patients.

Galloping into Monday we bring you another "Meet the Team" series introducing.... 🌟Director of Clinical Development and Operations Karen Tonge 🌟 Karen may be new to the iOnctura team but she's very far from new to clinical development and operations, bringing several decades of experience across large pharma and CROs to the team. We are so thankful to have her join us to manage our growing portfolio of clinical trials and programmes. Aside from iOnctura, Karen is a speed demon who loves nothing more than racing in the British Hill and Sprint Championships (for those not in the know, that means driving small cars at very big speeds) 🏎️. If she feels the need to slow down slightly she also loves trading in her car for a spot of horse riding 🐎 A very talented individual who we are very lucky to have on board. #meettheteam #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

We may have differing views on the UK's various political parties but can we all agree Rishi Sunak should be applauded for his public display of support this week for #ocularmelanoma Here he is packing boxes with books to help British charity Wendy's Wish who sell salvaged books to help research into this disease, which currently has limited therapeutic options. iOnctura's PI3Kd inhibitor roginoslib continues to show promising clinical activity and excellent safety for long periods of treatment in uveal melanoma
