Notes to editors
About Highlight Therapeutics
Highlight Therapeutics is a private, clinical-stage company dedicated to
unlocking the full potential of immuno-oncology. Our lead drug candidate
BO-112 is a best-in-class RNA-based therapy which has been demonstrated to
initiate a powerful immune response, leveraging a unique multi-target approach
to turn 'cold' tumors 'hot' and therefore visible to the immune system. It has
the potential to rescue patients who are resistant to current checkpoint
inhibitor therapy, a very large market opportunity. BO-112 is currently being
investigated in a range of clinical trials as a monotherapy and in combination
with checkpoint inhibitors. In addition to in-house research, Highlight
Therapeutics has a number of external collaborators, including Merck & Co
and UCLA.
