What We Do
BIO 300 is a new class of drug focused on improving outcomes in cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. It acts as a radioprotectant, protecting normal tissues from radiation damage while potentially sensitizing tumors to radiotherapy. It is also being developed as a medical countermeasure to prevent radiation damage in military and civilian populations. Nonclinical studies confirm that BIO 300 can protect normal tissue from radiation, while acting additively with radiation to kill tumors.
