Cambium Oncology

Atlanta, GA

Cambium Oncology LLC is a pre-clinical start-up focused on developing and commercializing new immuno-oncology therapeutics that target a novel checkpoint pathway. The company has licensed a patented technology from Emory University to use inhibitory peptides designed against immuno-suppressive vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) to cause both in vitro and in vivo activation and proliferation of T cells. Administration of VIP-antagonist peptides trigger a robust cytotoxic T-cell mediated immune response in tumor-bearing animals that resulted in reduction of tumor size and increase in survival time.
