About ACT®
o ACT® is a proprietary formulation consisting of microbubbles and microdroplets
that are activated through the application of ultrasound with the consequent
increase in targeted delivery of a co-administered therapeutic agent.
o ACT® is supported by a strong and broad preclinical package demonstrating
therapeutic enhancement in multiple oncology models (pancreatic, breast, colon,
prostate) as well as blood-brain barrier penetration.
o Initial focus of the company is oncology, however the ACT® platform has
potential across therapeutic areas (infectious diseases, CNS, immunotherapy) and
product classes.
