ABOUT TRANSCEND & BT2111

biOasis’ Transcend is a proprietary platform of carrier proteins capable of transporting therapeutics and other agents across the blood-brain barrier. BT2111 is a hybrid drug candidate consisting of a biOasis’ Transcend delivery vector linked to trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody used clinically in the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer. It is reported that up to 30% of HER2+ breast cancer patients develop brain metastasis for which therapeutic options are limited. Because of its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, biOasis is developing BT2111 as a potential treatment for brain metastases of HER2+ breast cancer.
