Brief Description

OncoRx Pharmaceuticals is an early-stage pharmaceutical company discovering and developing targeted therapies that control the progression of invasive malignant cancer.  OncoRx has identified and tested drugs that markedly alter the sustained directional mobility, the uncontrolled cell cycle, and t​​he unrestrained growth and proliferation of intrinsically and acquired therapy-resistant tumors. Unlike non-aggressive primary tumors, the growth, progression and invasiveness of therapy-resistant tumors are not effectively controlled with currently available cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and the new targeted kinase inhibitors.
