2018: Entos Pharmaceuticals (Entos) and Oisin Biotechnologies (Oisin) launched OncoSenX, a late-stage pre-clinical cancer therapy company. The cancer therapy approach under development by OncoSenX is a less invasive, more precise, well-tolerated and highly adaptable intervention of this complex and devastating disease.

This joint venture will commercialize an oncology suicide gene therapy treatment that targets transcriptional activity of solid tumors. The treatment comprises two novel components: Entos’ untargeted lipid nanoparticle Fusogenix platform as the delivery method and Oisin’s highly targeted plasmid DNA as the therapeutic payload. The DNA payload system implements logic gates, IF/OR/AND, allowing precise targeting of cell populations based on their genetic activity and leaving adjacent cells unharmed. Therefore, together, this loaded nanoparticle induces apoptosis in cancerous cells, leading to their destruction, without harming adjacent cells.

OncoSenX partners with Oisin Biotechnologies, Entos Pharmaceuticals, The Methuselah Fund, The Methuselah Foundation, The SENS Research Foundation and the laboratory of Dr. John Lewis at University of Alberta, Canada.

John Lewis is co-founder of OncoSenX along with Matthew Scholz.
