COMPANY STORY

Origin

Takuya Miyazaki, Ph.D (CEO) together with Horacio Cabral, Ph.D (Co-founder) launched Red Arrow in 2021 at the University of Tokyo, Japan, who are both experts in polymer-based drug delivery systems. 

Strength

Our program, INTERMICIN, pH-sensitive polymeric micelles loading IL-12 release fully active IL-12 upon sensing intertumoral pH, thus increases infiltration and activity of effector immune cells within tumor microenvironment. Moreover, INTERMICIN also overcome the systemic toxicity of IL-12. In the current pre-clinical data, INTERMICIN exhibits strong anti-tumor efficacy in various tumor models both as monotherapy and in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. 

UTEC’s value add

Ongoing support for team formation, business planning, and financing
  • INTERMICIN reduces off target toxicities with maximal potency

  • INTERMICIN (IL-12/m) Demonstrates Reduced Toxicities as compared to Native IL-12

  • INTERMICIN (IL-12/m) Synergizes with Checkpoint Blockades in Difficult-To-Treat Cold Tumors
