Ocean Biomedical shares details of its Lung Cancer Program

Ocean Biomedical is sharing details of its multi-pronged Lung Cancer Program built on novel immunotherapy discoveries by Scientific Co-founder Dr. Jack A. Elias. He and his team have revealed that Chitinase 3-like-1 is a master regulator that inhibits antitumor immune responses. Ocean Biomedical’s lung cancer program is advancing several approaches to reversing immune system suppression caused by CHi3L1 alone and in combination with other immunotherapy pathways. These programs suppress primary and metastatic tumor growth in multiple animal models and have potential use in multiple forms of visceral cancers. In recent studies, Ocean Biomedical’s programs have demonstrated up to 95% reduction in primary and metastatic tumor burden in mouse models of lung cancer. “On World Lung Cancer Day, we are proud to be part of the global effort to cure this terrible disease,” commented Ocean Biomedical’s CEO, Elizabeth Ng. We are working on the systematic steps needed to progress the anti-CHi3L1 antibodies into the clinic to potentially become impactful new cancer therapeutics.”
