Cellectar Biosciences
is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of cancer. The company is developing
proprietary drugs independently and through research and development (R&D) collaborations. The company's core objective
is to leverage its proprietary Phospholipid Drug ConjugateTM (PDC) delivery platform to develop PDCs that specifically
target cancer cells, delivering improved efficacy and better safety as a result of fewer off-target effects. The company's
PDC platform possesses the potential for the discovery and development of the next-generation of cancer-targeting treatments, and
it plans to develop PDCs independently and through research and development collaborations.
lead PDC therapeutic, CLR 131, is currently in three clinical studies - one Phase 2 study, and two Phase 1 studies. The Phase
2 clinical study (CLOVER-1) is in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic
leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), mantle cell lymphoma
(MCL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The company is also conducting a Phase 1 dose escalation study in patients with
R/R multiple myeloma (MM) and a Phase 1 study in pediatric solid tumors and lymphoma.
product pipeline also includes one preclinical PDC chemotherapeutic program (CLR 1900) and several partnered PDC assets.
