Our unique Spiegelmer® platform has generated a broad proprietary pipeline of clinical-stage assets, including our lead product candidate, NOX-A12, which are able to target the tumor microenvironment and therefore have the potential to significantly enhance the effectiveness of current cancer treatments. We are pleased to have gathered such a prestigious group of experts to discuss advances in this area.”
