SPAC DEALS ANNOUNCED

Apr 28 | BKHA – Black Hawk Acquisition Corp + Vesicor Therapeutics, Inc.

ABOUT Vesicor Therapeutics, Inc.

Vesicor was founded in 2008 in San Gabriel, California by Luo Feng, Ph.D. The Company is an early development stage biotechnology company focused on the development of p53-based cancer therapeutics delivered via precision-engineered microvesicles.

The Company’s first product candidate is ecm-RV/p53. This is a genetically engineered cellular microvesicle (“ecm”) non-viral nanoparticle RNA vesicle (“RV”) that is loaded with in vitro transcribed p53 mRNA. Although Vesicor’s ecm-RV/p53 drug candidate is unapproved for use in Japan and the United States, it has been administered to multiple patients in Tokyo, Japan since 2018 under the Japan Medical Practitioner’s Act, also known as Advanced Medical Care B. This mechanism allows unapproved drugs to be used under a physician’s discretion. The Company’s drug candidate has been used in multiple patients with advanced breast, pancreatic, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer. Vesicor believes that its ecm-RV/p53 drug candidate has broad therapeutic potential across a range of solid tumors. The Company intends to begin preclinical testing in the U.S., submit an investigational new drug (“IND”) application to the FDA and then to begin clinical trials, which efforts are expected to commence in 2026.
