Optimizing Cancer Treatment by Knockout of Genes Responsible for Drug Resistance
Who We Are
CorriXR Therapeutics is an oncology-focused biotherapeutics development company with a ground-breaking gene editing platform technology.
CorriXR Therapeutics is the inaugural biotech spin-out of ChristianaCare, a large healthcare system, and the Gene Editing Institute, which has been embedded in ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute since 2015.
What We’re Doing
We have developed a broad-based gene editing platform that utilizes a unique CRISPR/Cas biomolecular tool to disable genes in tumor cells responsible for drug resistance. We are focused on our initial target of treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the head & neck. Our platform technology is also being tested in squamous cell carcinomas of the lung, esophagus, and pancreas, as well as melanoma, and glioblastoma. The CorriXR delivery system is a proven lipid nanoparticle approach that when combined with direct intratumoral injection minimizes off-target effects.
