Proceeds Purpose
The proceeds from the financing will be used primarily to advance the development of Tigris' clinical and pre-clinical product pipeline, including its lead compound, A-007, a topical gel for the treatment of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) resulting from the human papilloma virus (HPV). A-007 has completed enrollment of two registration trials in Mexico in patients with high grade CIN (CIN II and III) and is currently enrolling patients in a large Phase II clinical trial in the U.S. Tigris has also completed enrollment on a Phase I/II clinical trial in patients with anal neoplasia (ASIL). If successfully developed, A-007 represents a non-invasive alternative to the current standard of care, loop electrosurgical excision surgery (LEEP), and could complement prophylactic vaccines to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
