Why start with brain cancers?
These are notoriously difficult-to-treat cancers and often carry a devastating prognosis. The unmet need for patients with these cancers is dire.
The opportunity for Siren to help is massive.
Attempts to effectively treat brain cancers with systemic drugs have largely failed. Systemic drugs can’t cross the blood brain barrier and get to the tumor site. They are too toxic, and they are generally ineffective against these tumors.
Our combination of AAV cytokine vectorization, direct tumor-targeting, and multi-layered safety approaches bypass these challenges and makes our approach ideally suited for brain cancers.
