Helix BioPharma Corp. announced that it has entered into a two-year scientific collaboration agreement ("Agreement") with University Hospital Tuebingen (Germany) to assess the therapeutic response of L-DOS47 in several cancer models expressing CEACAM6, with advanced preclinical metabolic imaging. The company aim to explore the potential synergistic effects of L-DOS47 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors on relevant cancer models.

To accomplish this overarching aim, Helix established a two-year collaborative partnership with a unique team from the University Hospital Tuebingen to gain further insights into the effects of L-DOS47 on the tumor microenvironment and pH modulation in vivo. In addition, the collaboration also explores the potential for designing novel LDOS47-based radiotracers with application in translational immune-oncology and molecular imaging.
