Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, particularly in metastatic disease. Despite FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine-Abraxane, survival gains remain limited, while significant treatment-related toxicities can require dose reductions, treatment delays, or discontinuation.
Onselex’s ONX-1006 encapsulates paclitaxel in a stable polymeric nanoparticle designed to minimize systemic exposure to paclitaxel and normal cells while increasing tumor delivery and accumulation.
ONX-1006 established a No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) equivalent to 750+ mg of paclitaxel for a 60 kg adult—about 3.75× a typical 200 mg Abraxane dose—without treatment-related adverse toxicological findings, supporting a substantially greater safety margin and repeated, continuous treatment.
ONX-1006 also demonstrated strong antitumor efficacy in pancreatic cancer xenograft models, achieving 20% greater tumor reduction than Abraxane at the same total weekly paclitaxel dose. TUNEL analysis also confirmed the highest level of tumor-cell death in the ONX-1006 group.
Furthermore, Onselex has established a standardized manufacturing SOP for ONX-1006 and produced 15 kg of nanoparticles, demonstrating reproducible multi-kilogram-scale manufacturing.Based on extrapolation of its preclinical findings, Onselex has established development goals of 90% to 100% tumor elimination and a 70% one-year survival rate.
Onselex’s nanoparticle platform extends across solid tumors and neurological diseases, aiming to provide effective treatment while preserving quality of life and normal daily living.
