ETC has assembled all the technologies that are needed to perform state-of-the-art drug discovery. The principle is to form a partnership with a premier academic group working on a set of well-defined, validated targets. The goal is to discover novel, attractive and feasible Preclinical Development Candidates. Subsequently, a complementary facility (D3) will take up such projects and bring them through preclinical development that will enable to reach an IND (CTC). Such a drug candidate can then enter early clinical trials, to reach a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) that is based on evidence of tolerability, plausible pharmacokinetics and biomarker evidence of attractive pharmacodynamics.
