BiPar Sciences

BiPar Sciences is advancing the field of cancer therapy through the development of a novel class of tumor-selective drugs, called PARP inhibitors, designed to target multiple cancer types, including therapy-resistant and difficult-to-treat cancers. BiPar Sciences' lead product candidate, iniparib, the United States Adopted Name (USAN) for the investigational PARP1 inhibitor, BSI-201, targets PARP, or poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, a key enzyme involved in DNA repair and cell proliferation. Iniparib significantly enhances the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy and has shown promising safety and efficacy results in patients with solid tumors. Iniparib is being evaluated in multiple Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials in advanced solid tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer. The company also has two additional compounds in pre-clinical development: BSI-401, a follow-on PARP inhibitor candidate being investigated as an oral therapy for pancreatic cancer, and BSI-302, a novel anti-tubulin therapy
