About Feldan:
Located in Quebec City, Canada, Feldan is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company that specializes in the development of treatments based on the intracellular delivery of therapeutics. Feldan is behind the design of a proprietary peptide-based technology, the Feldan Shuttle, which enables safe and efficient delivery of antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) inside cells, unlocking the potential for a new generation of therapies. Feldan’s pipeline currently focuses on diseases affecting the lungs and skin.
Feldan is currently advancing its clinical-stage intralesional FLD-103, a promising non-surgical treatment for basal cell carcinomas (BCC). Phase 1/2a study will assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of FLD-103. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer and the most frequent form of all cancers, with more than 3.6 million BCCs diagnosed in the US and Canada each year. Patients affected by BCC commonly develop tumors in sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck and scalp and mostly rely on surgical treatment. Surgery is an effective yet invasive and disfiguring procedure that leaves patients to deal with scarring and, in some instances, a long recovery time. FLD-103 will offer a non-surgical treatment, with the potential of improved aesthetics and enhanced patient quality of life compared to surgery. Feldan is also working on advancing its pulmonary delivery program towards clinical development and further leveraging its intracellular delivery technology to bring life-changing therapeutics to patients.
