Hamlet Pharma AB is a Sweden-based company that develops cancer therapeutics. The Company develops cancer therapeutics based on research into protein complexes that selectively induce cell-death in tumours. HAMLET, which stands for Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumours, is a protein-fatty acid complex derived from human milk. The complex induces apoptosis in tumour cells while leaving normal cells unaffected. In laboratory experiments, HAMLET is active against many different types of tumour cells, and uses several mechanisms to trigger cell death. HAMLET is also being evaluated clinically on skin papillomas and on bladder cancers. Alpha1H is a Company's drug candidate for bladder cancer in ongoing phase I/II clinical trials.
