An introduction to EpiAxis

EpiAxis Therapeutics is a privately funded, leading epigenetics company with a focus on developing novel  cancer treatments and the prevention of cancer  recurrence. EpiAxis was established in 2015 from research conducted by Professor Sudha Rao. Our lead therapeutic program targets the epigenetic eraser enzyme, lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) using a novel dual mechanism that:

1) Targets the dormant cancer cells that seed cancer recurrence and, concurrently

2) reinvigorates exhausted immune cells for improved cancer clearance.

Our Phase 1 proof of concept study has validated LSD1 as a target and confirms inhibition of LSD1 reprograms cancer cells.

We have dominant intellectual property across our first-in-class assets covering targeting of LSD1 in combination with surgery, other drugs including chemotherapy, immuno-therapy, radiotherapy across the metastatic setting. We also have projects targeting PKC theta and PD1/PDL1.
