About ADAPT-001

AdAPT-001 is an oncolytic virus which is part of the company's proprietary AdAPT Immunotherapy Platform, a platform developed on a genetically modified version of the human adenovirus that has been uniquely designed to preferentially infect and kill cancer cells. Currently in an ongoing Phase 1 trial for solid tumors, AdAPT-001 encodes a ligand trap comprised of the ligand-binding domain of the TGF-β receptor, which is fused to the portion of the human antibody known as the Fc domain.

About N-VAX

N-VAX incorporates the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein in the same human adenovirus serotype 5 platform, hAd5, that is used for AdAPT-001. Nucleocapsid is an ideal target for a uNiversal coronavirus vaccine because, as the most abundant structural protein, it is more conserved and stable than Spike protein as well as highly immunogenic.

About RRx-001

RRx-001 leads EpicentRx's CyNRGY platform as a first-in-class investigational treatment sourced from an exclusively licensed portfolio of aerospace-derived small molecules. RRx-001 is a multifaceted treatment with a dual-functioning mechanism that starts under "normal" conditions, or healthy tissues that are reasonably well-oxygenated, and the activity changes in poorly oxygenated (hypoxic) tissues, which is a distinguishing characteristic of cancerous tumors.
