NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Promontory Therapeutics Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company advancing immunogenic small molecule approaches in oncology, has become the first international company to gain membership in the Paris-Saclay Cancer Center (PSCC), an emerging European hub for cancer research and innovation. As a member, Promontory has access to PSCC's oncology community, including experts, technology platforms, facilities and more, to support its clinical progress in Europe. Promontory's Phase 2 study of immunogenic cancer cell death inducer PT-112 was recently expanded to clinical sites in France, led by the Gustave Roussy Paris.
