ABOUT QBIOTICS
QBiotics is an unlisted public Australian life sciences company that discovers and develops pharmaceuticals derived from nature to address unmet medical needs in humans and companion animals. Our current clinical focus is on novel treatments for cancer and debilitating chronic wounds.
QBiotics’ business model is to develop products that have applications in both veterinary and human markets. Success in the veterinary programme validates QBiotics technology and informs the early stages of human development, while having the potential to generate early revenue.
QBiotics’ lead oncology drug, tigilanol tiglate, is a small molecule targeting a range of solid tumours and is currently in human clinical Phase II development. A veterinary formulation of tigilanol tiglate is registered and marketed as an oncology pharmaceutical, under the trade name STELFONTA®, in the USA, Europe, the UK and Australia.
QBiotics’ lead wound healing drug candidate is a small molecule targeting a range of wounds including chronic and acute wounds and burns. Preparation is in progress for a first-in-human Phase I/IIa clinical trial in patients with venous leg ulcers.
