OUR MISSION

Our mission is
to help pets live longer, healthier, and happier lives

Our four-legged family members are living longer than ever, bringing us much joy. Unfortunately, with this longer life span, our furry friends are now suffering from more cancers and other diseases of chronic inflammation — just like us.
 
 

OUR LEAD PRODUCT

ElenaVet®
is a gene therapy that enhances the body's
anticancer immune response.

In our comparative medicine studies, we saved 10 out of 11 dogs with breast cancer and precluded or delayed the metastatic process in dogs with melanoma. We observed similar results with cats.

Read more

ElenaVet also reduces chronic inflammation, which causes not only cancer but other serious diseases such as osteoarthritis, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and chronic dermatologic issues — as well as age-associated declines. Our goal is to tackle these diseases one by one, starting with cancer.

      OUR STORY

      A biotech startup
      - with an established track record.

      CureLab Veterinary, a sister company of CureLab Oncology, was created in November 2020 to save lives and improve the welfare of cats, dogs, and horses.

      Read more

      Our parent company, which is focused solely on human immune-oncology, was established in 2012 by experienced scientists and business experts. Our advisory board includes a Nobel Laureate and a recent member of the US president’s cabinet. Our work on readying our therapy for human clinical trials has shown that our product is safe and effective in dogs and cats.

      CANCER

      How does
      ElenaVet work?

      Why does your pet have a cancer?

      Both pets and humans have pre-cancer and even cancer cells, but these bad cells can do no harm unless the tissue surrounding them allows the formation of primary tumors and the potential for metastasis.

      Read more

      Often, pre-cancer cells can form tumors when a surrounding tissue is in a state of chronic inflammation. Additionally, tumors use chronic inflammation within the tumor to suppress the body’s natural anticancer immune response to resist treatments. Administering ElenaVet reduces chronic inflammation. This means it has excellent anti-cancer potency and synergizes well with other anti-cancer therapies.

      Less




      A tumor is not a bag full of cancer cells. Cancer cells cannot survive without the support of tumor stroma cells. ElenaVet alters tumor stroma making it less supportive for cancer cells. For example, a tumor prognosis is correlated with an expression of a protein called α-SMA. Our product reduced the tumor risk modulating α-SMA ‘s expression level.

      ELENAVET

      How does
      ElenaVet work?

      ElenaVet corrects the tumor microenvironment surrounding cancer cells, making it more favorable for anti-cancer immunity.
      ElenaVet changes the tumor structure itself, making it harder for metastatic cells to exit the tumor and form new remote lesions.

      Read more

      The grade of a tumor — the cancer grade — is an indication of how quickly it is likely to grow and spread. Tumors of higher grades are more resistant to treatments. Our ElenaVet prototype reverted/reduced the tumor grade in five out of six canine mammary cancers; and in one case out of six, the tumor was reverted to a non-cancerous state.

      Less




      The extracellular matrix in a tumor is predominantly formed of collagen Type 1. Treatment with ElenaVet shifts it from Type 1 to Type 3. This shift in collagen type is important as Lymphocytes circulating in the blood use collagen Type 3 more efficiently to penetrate the tumor and attack it. Metastatic cells have a harder time exiting the tumor if collagen Type 3 is present...

      Non-cancer
      diseases

      What do osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic dermatologic issues, and age-associated declines have in common? All of them are diseases of chronic inflammation.

      ElenaVet reduces chronic inflammation in the most comprehensive way. It lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases anti-inflammatory ones, thereby dramatically reducing overall inflammation.

      Read more

      What happens when you cut your finger or catch a cold?
      Cells and tissues “scream for help” — sending out pro-inflammatory cytokines. When the danger is over, anti-inflammatory cytokines calm the tissue down.
      And what if the body doesn’t check the pro-inflammation process?
      Then we have a constant release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, causing chronic inflammation.
      What’s wrong with current anti-inflammatory treatments?
      They either target one specific proinflammatory cytokine or are highly toxic.
      ElanaVet has neither of these drawbacks.

      Less


      Instead of interfering with a particular cytokine, ElenaVet restores balance in the cells secreting them.
       
       

      ELENAVET

      What is
      ElenaVet?

      ElenaVet is a plasmid (supercoiled circular DNA) in which we have inserted a gene-encoding protein p62/SQSTM1.
      Plasmids constitute a main trend in a new generation of biomedicine.
      When injected into a patient, ElenaVet enters cells at the site of administering as well as in the bone marrow, and makes the cells it encodes produce p62 protein, which leads to multiple physiological outcomes.

      Read more

      Plasmids manufacturing is now efficient and highly scalable allowing for a price that is accessible to the general public which will result in helping tens of thousands of animals. If kept frozen, their shelf life is more than six years. Their regulatory approval process is straightforward. And the current dosage form is a simple intramuscular injections.

      Manufacturing is outsourced to a leading contract manufacturing partner experienced with USDA and FDA regulations.
