- NGC-Capecitabine (NGC-Cap): This therapy involves Capecitabine administered with PCS6422, aiming to enhance efficacy and reduce side effects.
- PCS3117 (NGC-Gemcitabine or NGC-Gem): A novel formulation intended to improve the therapeutic profile of Gemcitabine.
- PCS11T (NGC-Irinotecan or NGC-Iri): Another innovative treatment designed to optimize the benefits of Irinotecan.
Processa Pharmaceuticals is committed to leveraging its expertise in regulatory science to bring these next-generation treatments to market. The company's strategic partnerships and ongoing clinical trials play a crucial role in advancing its mission and providing hope to patients battling cancer.
