design and status of the ongoing pivotal RELEASE study at the online event
'Light-responsive platforms for controlled drug delivery' hosted by IPA
(International Photodynamic Association).
The online event is scheduled for 15:30-18:00 CET today and the presentation by
Prof. Trojan is named 'PCI of gemcitabine in locally advanced inoperable
cholangiocarcinoma - a new technique with promising clinical activity'. Please

About PCI Biotech
PCI Biotech is a biopharmaceutical late-stage clinical development company
focusing on development and commercialisation of novel therapies for the
treatment of cancer through its innovative photochemical internalisation (PCI)
technology platform. PCI is applied to three distinct anticancer paradigms:
fimaChem (enhancement of chemotherapeutics for localised treatment of cancer),
fimaVacc (T-cell induction technology for therapeutic vaccination), and fimaNAc
(nucleic acid therapeutics delivery).
Photochemical internalisation induces triggered endosomal release that is used
to unlock the true potential of a wide array of therapeutic modalities. The
company's lead programme fimaChem consists of a pivotal study in bile duct
cancer, an orphan indication with a high unmet need and without approved
products. fimaVacc applies a unique mode of action to enhance the essential
cytotoxic effect of therapeutic cancer vaccines, which works in synergy with
several other state-of-the-art vaccination technologies. fimaNAc utilises the
endosomal release to provide intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, such as
mRNA and RNAi therapeutics, thereby addressing one of the major bottlenecks
facing this emerging and promising field.
