About us

Prescient Therapeutics (ASX: PTX) is a clinical stage oncology company developing personalised medicine approaches to cancer, including targeted and cellular therapies. Cell Therapies OmniCAR: is a universal immune receptor platform enabling controllable cell activity and multi- antigen targeting with a single cell product. OmniCAR’s modular CAR system decouples antigen recognition from the cell signalling domain. It is the first universal immune receptor allowing post- translational covalent loading of binders to immune cells. OmniCAR is based on technology licensed from Penn and Oxford University; and other assets. Prescient is developing OmniCAR-T cells programs for next-generation CAR-T therapies for AML; Her2+ solid tumours, including breast, ovarian and gastric cancers; and GBM. CellPryme: Prescient's novel, ready-for-the-clinic, CellPryme-M technology enhances adoptive cell therapy performance by shifting T and NK cells towards a central memory phenotype, improving persistence, and increasing the ability to find and penetrate tumours. CellPryme-M is a 24-hour, non-disruptive process during cell manufacturing. Targeted Therapies PTX-100 is a first in class compound with the ability to block an important cancer growth enzyme known as geranylgeranyl transferase-1 (GGT-1). It disrupts oncogenic Ras pathways by inhibiting the activation of Rho, Rac and Ral circuits in cancer cells, leading to apoptosis (death) of cancer cells. PTX-100 is now in a Phase 1b expansion cohort study in T cell lymphomas, where it has shown encouraging efficacy signals and safety. PTX-200 is a novel PH domain inhibitor that inhibits an important tumour survival pathway known as Akt, which plays a key role in the development of many cancers, including breast and ovarian cancer, as well as leukemia. Unlike other drug candidates that target Akt inhibition, PTX-200 has a novel mechanism of action that specifically inhibits Akt without non-specific kinase inhibition effects.
