Anti Cancer Platform TechnologyAnti Cancer Platform TechnologyPatented anti‐cancer drugs known as Photo Dynamic Compounds (PDCs) localize to the DNA of cancer cells and when light activated destroy the DNA resulting in natural cell death (apoptosis) 

HighlightsHighlightsUp to 100% cancer cell kill at very low concentrations (< 0.8µM) 

Virtually 0% toxicity at high concentrations (> 100µM) leading to very high safety profile

More effective at killing cancer cells than FDA approved drugs  (668,000 x ALA, 198 x PHOTOFRIN)

No side effects were observed from treatment (quick evacuation of PDC from  healthy cells and high light fluence required for activation provides extremely high safety profile)

Ult l t i it PDC t bl d t (bl dd )Ultra low toxicity as PDC never enters blood stream (bladder cancer)

Water soluble & readily penetrates cellular membrane (DNA localizing)

Activated by laser light providing excellent specificity and selectivity

Lethal to cancer and bacteria

Able to treat solid core hypoxic tumours, such as: breast, prostate and lung

Research performed at world renowned Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

Activated at long wavelengths (allows deeper tumour destruction)

Issued USA Patents:  6,962,910, 7,612,057, 8,148,360, 8,445,475

Pending USA Patent Applications:  61/801,674, 13/863,089, PCT/US13/36595

Bladder Cancer

USA Bladder Cancer Treatment Annual SpendingUSA Bladder Cancer Treatment Annual Spending $3.9 billion (2012)

Statistics70,000 new cases, > 14,000 deaths in the US each year

386,000 new cases are diagnosed worldwide annually

Standard treatment unchanged with no new drugs approved since 1998

5th most common cancer, 4th in men, 8th in women

Most expensive cancer to treat with a recurrence rate up to 80%

70% of new bladder cancer cases are early stage disease and 90% of bladder cancers are Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC)

Current Standard of CareEarly stage disease (Ta, T1): Trans Urethral Resection of the Bladder Tumour (TURBT) followed by treatment y g ( , ) ( ) ywith bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG) – 5 year survival rate of 75%.

Mid Stage disease (T2, T3a/b): Entire bladder removed along with nearby reproductive  organs and lymph nodes in a procedure called a radical cystectomy ‐ 5 year survival rate of 31 to 63% depending on progression of disease.

Late stage disease (T4): Disease has spread to distant sites, such as the bones, liver and lungs and is generally regarded as incurable ‐ 5 year survival rate of 21%.
