More information about 4SC AG

4SC focuses on the development of novel small molecule drugs that target key mechanisms of cancer development, such as the enzymes lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) or histone deacetylases (HDAC), for example. Such drugs are intended to provide patients with innovative treatment options that are more tolerable and efficacious than existing therapies and provide a better quality of life. 4SC’s current product pipeline includes two programs in clinical development: resminostat and 4SC-202, as well as 4SC-208, which is in the preclinical stage of drug development. 4SC’s goal is to advance its own drug development programs in order to increase the value of the Company as a whole through entering into valuable partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for the further development or commercialization of 4SC’s drug candidates, and/or the eventual marketing and sales of approved drugs in select territories, such as Europe.

Through resulting license fees, milestone payments and royalties, and direct sales revenues, 4SC aims to achieve sustainable revenue growth and profitability.
