Patrys has two technology platforms

Patrys Limited (ASX:PAB) has been granted a U.S. patent for its anti-cancer candidate PAT-LM1 for use in treating colon cancer metastasis.

Based in Melbourne, Patrys is focused on the development of antibodies as therapies for a range of different cancers.

Patrys has already secured eight patents across the PAT-LM1 families in three jurisdictions - the U.S., Europe and UK.

PAT-LM1 is a natural human antibody that has shown great promise in laboratory and animal testing as a potential treatment for multiple types of cancer like colon, lung, breast, ovary and pancreas.

The antibody attacks a protein called NONO which is expressed in 98% of over 200 different types of cancer cells screened.

NONO has been shown to play a role in modulating cell death and repair mechanisms and as a marker in estrogen receptor negative breast cancer tumours.

Patrys has two technology platforms, IgM monoclonal antibodies and a suite of nuclear penetrating antibodies for cancer therapy.

In March 2016, Patrys had licensed the exclusive rights to two nuclear-penetrating lupus antibodies for cancer therapy from Yale University.
