Mission: OSE Pharma is developing immunotherapy products against invasive/metastatic late-stage cancers. Memopi, one of its key technologies and currently being developed for ovarian, colon and breast cancers.
The treatment helps the patient’s immune system remove malignant cancer cells, by ‘re-educating its immunological memory‘ in order to allow the immune system to attack tumor cells. By doing this, the patient’s cytotoxic T cells increase and are able to respond more efficiently to the cancer.
