ValiRx plc, a biotechnology oncology focused company, engages in developing novel treatments for cancer and associated biomarkers in the United Kingdom. Its proprietary GeneICE technology enables the selective silencing of specific genes by targeted histone deacetylation leading to chromatin condensation. The company's lead drug candidates include VAL201, an anti-cancer therapeutic that is in Phase I/II trials for the treatment of prostate cancer and other indications of hormone induced unregulated growth, including endometriosis; VAL301, a reformulation of VAL201, which is in pre-clinical development for the non-invasive and better tolerated treatment of endometriosis; and VAL401, a reformulation of generic drug Risperidone, which has completed Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Its drug candidates also comprise VAL101, a therapeutic based on GeneICE platform that acts to target and switch off the Bcl-2 gene, a protein that is implicated carcinomas. It has licensing collaborations with Imperial Innovations Group plc, Cancer Research UK, and University College London Hospital.
