About Rakovina Therapeutics Inc.

Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. is focused on the development of new cancer treatments based on novel DNA-damage response (DDR) technologies. The Company has established a pipeline of novel DNA-damage response inhibitors with the goal of advancing one or more drug candidates into human clinical trials and obtaining marketing approval for new cancer therapeutics from Health Canada, the United States Food and Drug Administration and similar international regulatory agencies. The Company’s lead development programs currently include:

kt-2000 Next Generation PARP-inhibitors: A novel class of highly potent, oral inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Lead candidates demonstrate potency comparable to FDA-approved PARP-inhibitors with potential differentiating factors and competitive advantages designed to improve treatment outcomes and patient quality of life.

kt-3000 Dual Action DDR-inhibitors: A novel class of small-molecule drug candidates designed to potently and selectively inhibit both PARP and secondary DDR pathways associated with treatment resistance. Preclinical data demonstrates on-target potency similar to FDA approved single-action agents.

kt-4000 DNA Damaging DDR-inhibitors: A novel class of small-molecule drug candidates designed to release a potent DNA-damaging agent, while also inhibiting DDR to selectively kill cancer cells.
