APAC | Advanced Pain Control – An innovation in pain control for those suffering from secondary bone cancer

Summary
This Phase 1 project will enable Scandinavian ChemoTech AB (ChemoTech) to develop a business plan for Dynamic-ElectroEnhanced Pain Control (D-EEPC). This will include clinical and market feasibility, with a strong business development and commercialisation strategy.
Approximately 25% of all cancer patients are affected by secondary bone cancer; which is difficult to find and treat. 20-30% of these patients do not respond to current systemic therapies and pain control with narcotic analgesics, radiation therapy and surgery. This patient population continues to experience potentially debilitating back pain.
To address this, ChemoTech has developed D-EEPC - a game-changing pain reduction treatment for secondary bone cancer. It operates by sending short, high voltage electric pulses in combination with a low concentration of a cytostatic drug to reduce tumour size in the spine or bones. This reduces pain caused by pressure on nerves. The different voltage settings and use of an applicator with different sizes allows treatment of hard-to-treat cancers and distinguishes D-EEPC from its competitors.
Development of D-EEPC and research supporting its efficacy and safety to date is extremely promising but requires full clinical validation and an optimal business strategy. The proposed Phase 1 project will enable the company to define the pathway to implement for successful commercialisation.
