The company's lead product candidate ATRC-101 is a monoclonal antibody, which reacts in vitro with a majority of human ovarian, non-small cell lung, colorectal and breast cancer samples from multiple patients. ATRC-101 has demonstrated robust anti-tumor activity as a single agent in multiple preclinical models.
