The Problem:
INNOVATIVE CANCER THERAPEUTICS
New technologies reverse key mechanisms of drug resistance and immune suppression of cancer.
Drug Resistance develops for
even blockbuster drugs, reducing their effectiveness over time
CD105 is elevated with resistance.

OVERCOMING CANCER DRUG RESISTANCE
Anti-androgen drugs (enzalutamide, abiraterone, apalutamide)
EGFR drugs (osimertinib, erlotinib, gefitinib)
THE PROBLEM: Resistance
As cancers become resistant to standard of care, their cancer cells make CD105 on the surface, that mediates tumor cell survival and therapy resistance.
CD105 is elevated in in resistant cancer cells that recur or are incompletely treated.
THE SOLUTION: Block CD105
ENV105 blocks CD105 to restore sensitivity to the entire class of hormone therapies for prostate cancer patients(eg. enzalutamide, abiraterone and apalutamide) and EGFR-targeted therapies for lung cancer patients (e.g. Osimertinib)
Broadly applicable to reverse resistance in cancer: Although prostate and lung cancer are the first indications for ENV 105, this drug has been shown to be effective in models of colon, breast cancers, and head & neck cancers in the resistance developed against radiation and chemotherapy.
ENV105 restores sensitivity to hormone therapy
Targets CD105-mediated PROSTATE CANCER castrate resistance
ENV105 kills cancer cells resistant to AR Tx (H&E stain in PDX model)
More differentiated smaller tumors
ENV105 inhibits the creation of the AR splice variant which has resistance to AR Tx
Enzalutamide Enzalutamide+ ENV105
ENV105 + AR Tx reduces tumor volume more than AR Tx alone

AstraZeneca's EGFR inhibitor Tagrisso ($7B in 2024 sales) offers only a partial response in 80% of patients
CD105 is elevated with Tagrisso treatment
Preclinical models show ENV105 can overcome resistance and shrink tumors
ENV105 could not only reverse resistance but make Tagrisso work better to enable complete responses

EGFR-family receptors and MET converge on PI3K-AKT, MAPK, and STAT pathways. Inhibition of one axis often leads to compensatory signaling through the other.
KROS-741
MET amplification or HGF-driven activation is a common acquired resistance mechanism following EGFR blockade, particularly in NSCLC. MET-mediated HER3 transactivation can restore PI3K signaling despite EGFR inhibition.
