SPARC

SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic Rich in Cysteine) appears to be the intratumoral target of our nab® technology platform due to its secretion by a variety of tumors and the affinity of albumin for SPARC. In addition, it has been discovered that the SPARC protein, when administered systemically in combination with chemotherapy, can greatly sensitize a chemotherapy resistant tumor in xenograft tumor models. Our scientists, in collaboration with university scientists, are exploring the therapeutic potential of SPARC as a potential target in the treatment of chemo-resistant tumors. We will continue to explore the role of our nab® technology for targeting SPARC and other biological pathways, as well as for the development of new therapeutic candidates. Additionally, SPARC as a biomarker is being investigated in several ongoing Abraxane® related clinical trials.

SPARC

SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic Rich in Cysteine) is a major intratumoral target of our nab technology platform due to its secretion by a variety of tumors and the affinity of albumin for SPARC. In addition, it has been discovered that the SPARC protein, when administered systemically in combination with chemotherapy, can greatly sensitize a chemotherapy resistant tumor in xenograft tumor models. Our scientists, in collaboration with university scientists, are exploring the therapeutic potential of SPARC in the treatment of chemo-resistant tumors. We will continue to explore the role of our nab™ technology for targeting SPARC and other biological pathways, as well as for the development of new therapeutic candidates.
