Intravenous (IV) taxane therapy is a globally recognized cornerstone of cancer treatment. Despite its widespread use and status as a critical component of standard-of-care for many solid tumors, the taxane class of anti-cancer therapy is also hampered by its severe side effects and high burden IV administration schedule. There remains considerable potential to improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients and reduce the strain taxane therapy places on them and global healthcare systems.

“Modra” stands for “Modulated Oral Drug Absorption” and for our commitment to transforming taxane therapy, by developing improved therapies that are safer, better tolerated, and can be conveniently taken at home in tablet form. We are applying our proprietary platform to develop next-generation oral taxanes with the goal to improve the therapeutic outcomes and everyday lives of cancer patients undergoing taxane therapy.
