Tarveda Therapeutics is a developer of miniature drug conjugates designed for the treatment of patients with a wide range of solid tumors. The company's HSP90 targeted drug conjugate platform with lead drug candidate PEN-866 selectively binds in tumors to the activated form of Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) and releases its potent topoisomerase 1 inhibitor payload, SN38 and it also develops a miniature drug conjugate in clinical evaluation for the treatment of patients with somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) expressing neuroendocrine, small cell lung and other solid tumors, enabling companies to extend the lives of patients with hard to treat cancers while minimizing potential toxicities.
