OUR VISION
We are building a leading, next generation precision medicine company utilizing the power of ultrasound to enable targeted drug delivery in oncology
EXACT Therapeutics present full results from ACTIVATE trial at ESMO conference
Conclusions:
ACT treatment was safe and did not worsen side effects of chemotherapy,
ACT treatment is deliverable in out-patient settings
Treatment with ACT + CTx showed greater response compared with CTx alone,
The effect of ACT was significantly greater in subjects who had any response to chemotherapy*,
The ACTIVATE study provided proof of concept that treatment with ACT + CTx has the potential to be more efficacious than treatment with CTx alone,
The ACT technology is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 study in locally advanced pancreatic cancer - ENACT study (NCT06850623).

Our pipeline
Our technology
The Key differentiation of ACT is:
ACT has a biomechanical mode of action to increase the uptake of co-administered drugs from blood vessels into the surrounding (cancer) tissue, without damaging the cells within the capillary walls; unlike sonoporation, ACT does not create holes in the epithelial cell membranes of the capillary wall.
With ACT, the drug can reach 100 microns which is 10 layers of cells away from capillary with an ongoing pump effect that lasts for minutes.
Reproducible and signifcant uptake through targeted delivery into tumours and across the blood brain barrier (BBB).
A very strong toxicology package:
including most recently, in relation to BBB opening where no extravasation of red blood cells was observed throughout the ACT procedure in a preclinical rodent model.
Uses a bespoke dual frequency transducer with a standard ultrasound scanner to activate and enhance the clusters at the target tumour site. Compatible with existing ultrasound systems widely available in clinics/hospitals worldwide.
No drug reformulation required.
ACT relies on ultrasound settings well within safe and approved ranges.
State of the art navigation system in development to ensure ACT is delivered accurately at a targeted site
