Scandion Oncology (Scandion), an innovative drug efflux pump inhibition company using biomodulation capabilities to revert drug resistance, today announced that the top priority following the very encouraging part 3 CORIST data is business development and partnering activities. As part of these efforts, Scandion is working together with Back Bay Life Science Advisors LLC, a prominent life sciences investment banking firm, to explore and evaluate actionable strategic and financial alternatives.
This decision reflects the company’s commitment to both the ongoing development of SCO-101 and maximizing shareholder value. Strategic alternatives include partnerships, divesting certain assets, and exploring a potential sale of the company.
“The clinical data generated by Scandion’s SCO-101 throughout CORIST 1 to 3 certainly demonstrate the potential of the molecule to significantly reduce chemotherapy drug resistance due to its unique mechanism of action,” said Francois Martelet, CEO of Scandion Oncology. “While focusing on business development and partnering activities we will work with our clinical advisors on the best step forward to ensure SCO-101 reaches its potential in the light of current standard of care.”
