Lytix Biopharma in brief
Lytix in brief: Based in Oslo, Norway, Lytix Biopharma is a clinical stage
biotech company developing novel cancer immunotherapies, an area within cancer
therapy that is aimed at activating the patient's immune system to fight cancer.
The Company's technology is based on pioneering research in "host defense
peptides" - nature's first line of defense towards foreign pathogens. Lytix
Biopharma's lead product, LTX-315, is a first-in-class oncolytic molecule
representing a new and superior in situ therapeutic vaccination principle to
boost anti-cancer immunity, with the potential to be the ideal combination
partner with other types of immunotherapy. LTX-315 target cancer cells and
disintegrate their cell membranes, causing immunogenic cell death and release of
a patient's tumor specific antigens. This mode of action allows cytotoxic T
cells to recognize, infiltrate, and attack cancer cells. The Company was listed
on Euronext Growth in Oslo in June 2021, following a private placement covered
by investors such as PBM Capital, a US based, healthcare-focused investment
firm.
