    USP of the Company

    news|financial: "Defence Therapeutics has made significant advancements in its Accum™ technology. Could you explain how this platform differentiates itself from other cancer and infectious disease treatments currently in development?"

    Defence's platform is unique, it enhances the efficacy of practically any existing drugs by develivering it more precisely to the cancer cells, causing less side effects to the patients. On top of that, the Accum™ variant, AccuTOX, is acting as an anti-cancer agent, meaning it has 2 modes of action.


    Upcoming Milestones

    news|financial: "As Defence Therapeutics continues to expand its clinical pipeline, what key milestones should investors be watching for over the next 12-18 months?"

    Sébastien Plouffe, CEO, Founder and Director, Defence Therapeutics Inc.
    "[...] Defence will continue to develop its Antibody Drug Conjugates "ADC" and its radiopharmaceuticals programs, which are currently two of the hottest products in demand in the pharma industries where significant consolidations and take-overs occurred. [...]" Sébastien Plouffe, CEO, Founder and Director, Defence Therapeutics Inc.

    Defence plans to have begun two clinical trials on its 100% owned products: AccuTOX as an anti-cancer molecule targeting melanoma in combination with anti-PD1 and the ARM-X, as a cell-based vaccine targeting pancreatic cancer. At least one phase I is expected to be completed within this timeline. In addition, Defence will continue to develop its Antibody Drug Conjugates "ADC" and its radiopharmaceuticals programs, which are currently two of the hottest products in demand in the pharma industries where significant consolidations and take-overs occurred.


    Strategic Partnerships

    news|financial: "The biotech industry is highly competitive. How does Defence Therapeutics plan to maintain a strong market position and attract strategic partnerships moving forward?"

    The versatility of the Accum platform is key to attract strategic partnerships. An example is our ADC program: we are currently in the process of demonstrating that Accum can increase the efficacy and reduce the dosing of any existing ADCs. Which means that we can potentially "fix" any ADC companies who have efficacy and dosing issues by adding Accum, making Defence well positioned to attract strategic partners.


    Value Creation for Shareholders

    news|financial: "With the recent focus on immunotherapy and personalized medicine, how is Defence Therapeutics leveraging these trends to create long-term value for investors?"

    Sébastien Plouffe, CEO, Founder and Director, Defence Therapeutics Inc.
    "[...] Defence has shown preclinically that the vaccine works well on solid tumours as 4 cancer models were already tested with great results: T-cell lymphoma, melanoma, pancreatic and ovarian cancers. [...]" Sébastien Plouffe, CEO, Founder and Director, Defence Therapeutics Inc.

    Defence's ARM-X vaccine is exactly what it's all about. The ARM-X vaccine represents a leading vaccination platform due to its ease in manufacturing and the therapeutic potency that this allogeneic off-the-shelf vaccine can provide. Defence scientific team only needs a small tumour biopsy from the patient to complete its ARM-X vaccine meaning that within less than 24 hours the vaccine is ready to give to the patient. Defence has shown preclinically that the vaccine works well on solid tumours as 4 cancer models were already tested with great results: T-cell lymphoma, melanoma, pancreatic and ovarian cancers.


    Financial Stability

    news|financial: "Financial stability is critical for continued R&D and clinical trials. Could you share your strategy for funding future developments and how you plan to optimize capital allocation?"

    Sébastien Plouffe, CEO, Founder and Director, Defence Therapeutics Inc.
    "[...] The company is also evaluating potential US listings on the NYSE or Nasdaq in 2025. [...]" Sébastien Plouffe, CEO, Founder and Director, Defence Therapeutics Inc.

    Financial stability is indeed critical. Defence is currently in discussions with Canadians, Americans and European strategic potential investors/funds to secure its R&D and clinical trials programs. Clinical trials will be the priority while funds will be allocated to preclinical programs with partnerships potential like radiopharmaceuticals and ADCs projects. Discussions with potential partnership are ongoing. The company is also evaluating potential US listings on the NYSE or Nasdaq in 2025.
