Frezent has advantage over immunotherapies such as Pembrolizumab/Keytruda which has limited effect on dormant cells or immune evasive cells and only focuses on actively dividing cancer cells.
-
Current therapies like Imatinib are effective in mutation-driven, proliferating tumors but leave dormant cancer cells untouched, as these cells rely on metabolic adaptation. Similarly, kinase inhibitors such as Everolimus modulate metabolism indirectly through mTOR/VEGF pathways without targeting the core energy drivers of dormancy.
Frezent directly disrupts the energy/metabolic lifeline of dormant cells - addressing the root of survival rather. -
Compared to targeted therapy Venetoclax - which induces apoptosis with limited clinical utility in solid tumors due to high toxicity and tumor lysis risk, Frezent cause highly selective metabolic disruption without systemic toxicity.
Frezent’s approach is first of its kind, designed to disrupt the metabolic foundation of dormancy to prevent the cancer from coming back.
