Corporate Mission

CureLab Oncology is a biotechnology company that is developing new anti-cancer biologics.
CureLab Oncology is committed to creating a family of revolutionary
therapies for oncology patients in order to help prolong their lives.

Our Lead Product

Our lead product, Elenagen, is a plasmid (supercoiled circular DNA) encoding
gene p62/SQSTM1. Elenagen reverses tumor grade, changes tumor microenvironment,
enhances the anti-cancer effects of other therapies (e.g. chemotherapy),
mitigates chronic inflammation, and stimulates an immune attack on the tumor.

Clinical Trials

The CureLab Oncology team has completed its international Phase I/IIa Clinical Trials of Elenagen.
The vaccine demonstrated a high degree of safety as well as clinical benefits in a number of patients.
Based on these successful results, we initiated Phase II Clinical Trials outside of the
United States
, and are now preparing Phase II Clinical Trials within the US.
