Biothera is developing cancer immunotherapies to improve the lives of cancer patients.
Biothera Pharmaceuticals is a privately held biotechnology company developing Imprime PGG, a mid-clinical stage cancer immunotherapy that enhances the efficacy of tumor targeting, anti-angiogenic, and immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies. The Company has clinical research agreements with Merck to evaluate Imprime PGG and Merck's KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) in Phase 2 studies advanced melanoma, metastatic triple negative breast cancer and head and neck squamous cell cancer. This therapeutic combination is the focus of a Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium Phase 1b/2 trial in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Imprime PGG has been well-tolerated and has established proof of concept in trials with more than 400 subjects.
