Onco-Innovations Ltd. has announced an agreement with Nucro-Technics Inc. to conduct IND-enabling studies for the company's lead drug candidate, NP/A83 (OI-83463), a polymer-encapsulated Polynucleotide Kinase Phosphatase (PNKP) inhibitor. This collaboration involves extensive preclinical testing to evaluate the drug's bioavailability, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics, as well as its safety through Good Laboratory Practice $(GLP)$ toxicology studies. These efforts are aimed at supporting an Investigational New Drug $(IND.AU)$ application and the subsequent initiation of Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of advanced-stage, PTEN- or SHP-1-deficient cancers. The results of these studies, intended to meet both FDA and Health Canada standards, will be compiled for future regulatory submissions.
