WE CAN DO BETTER

ENC006 Program: EnClear is developing our EnTrega CSF Platform to help patients with LC by improving the distribution of chemotherapeutics to the areas of the CNS that need it most. Our goal is to reduce side effects and extend life while increasing access to therapy.

Studies have shown improved distribution of Chemotherapeutics in the CNS can extend life.[De Oca Delgado et al, 2018, Front. Oncol. 8:509]

Pre-clinical studies have shown EnClears CSF Health Platform delivers significantly higher concentrations of MTX across the central nervous system (CNS) when compared to standard of care IT & ICV.

*EnClear is currently in development of its novel EnTrega CSF Platform. Forward looking statements have not been substantiated in human clinical trials or assessed by the FDA.
