OncoRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

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...

Oncobionic

Brief Description

Oncobionic commercialized irreversible electroporation (IRE) technology, a minimally invasive treatment for tumors that revolutionized cancer therapy. The minimally invasive surgical system delivers 1,500 volts of electric current through needle-like probes, ablating the targeted area, making it possible to remove unresectable tumors near critical structures and major blood vessels without cuts or incisions. IRE exclusively targets the tumor’s cell membranes, leaving critical organs, vasculature, ducts and nerves completely unharmed.

The IRE...
