The goal - reduce mortality from colon cancer
1.1 million diagnosed with colon cancer yearly
The fourth most common form of cancer
5-year survival for non-
metastatic cancer is 71%
About 90 % of deaths
are due to metastases
Five-year survival for
metastatic cancer is 14%
Major medical need to
prevent spread of tumours

Low WNT5A correlates with disease progression in colon cancer
Patients with high WNT5A expression had longer cumulative survival*
Restoring WNT5A functions is thought to benefit colon cancer patients
*Dejmek et al. Cancer Res 2005; 65: (20), 2005
Unfortunately, it is not possible to administer WNT5A as a drug due to the complex molecular structure that prevents it from reaching the cancer cells.
Our solution
Foxy-5
A smaller molecule that
mimics WNT5A and reaches cancer cells.
Development
Phase 2 study initiated but paused after promising unexpected findings
Initial Phase 2 study (NeoFox)
127 newly diagnosed patients with stage II/III colon cancer included.
Ad hoc observations based on 110
patients showed very promising and unexpectedly fast effects.
