OXIS International, Inc. (OTCMKTS:OXIS) Comeback In Play After New Cancer Treatment Development
OXIS International, Inc. (OTCMKTS:OXIS) sentiments on the Street have improved a great deal in the recent past, on the signing of an agreement that investors believes offers great opportunity going forward. A deal with the University of Minnesota offers the company a unique opportunity to develop and commercialize cancer therapies using the Trispecific Killer engager technology.
The technology is normally used to target NK cells for treatment of cancer. Oxis has already tested it in preclinical models all of which were successful without any adverse effects. The unique thing about the Trispecific technology is that it offers a new treatment alternative for cancer, away from CAR-T therapies that carry a number of side effects.
Given that CAR-T therapies tend to increase toxicity levels, OXIS International, Inc. (OTCMKTS:OXIS) says it has started talks with the FDA in a bid to gain clinical trials approval for the new technology. The company is hoping to use the trials to determine the safety and efficacy of the treatment. The development adds to a series of positive news on the company‘s ongoing cancer therapies trials.
