Cytopia is developing CYT997, a new anti-cancer agent that disrupts tumour blood vessels. CYT997 is currently being investigated in Phase II clinical trials in a variety of cancers.
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) are debilitating, and potentially fatal, diseases of blood cell production. Cytopia is developing JAK2 inhibitors for the treatment of myeloproliferative disease, cancer and pulmonary hypertension (PAH). The company's lead drug, CYT387, is expected to enter Ph I clinical trials mid 2009.
Cytopia is collaborating with Novartis, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies to discover and develop new anti-rejection drugs for transplantation. This programme targets JAK3, a key enzyme necessary for the function of white blood cells which mediate transplant rejection.
