About Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.
Sorrento is an oncology company developing new treatments for cancer and associated pain. Sorrento's most advanced asset Cynviloq™, the next-generation nanoparticle paclitaxel, completed patient enrollment in the TRIBECA registrational trial in January. Sorrento is also developing resiniferatoxin (RTX), a non-opiate TRPV1 agonist currently in a Phase 1/2 study at the NIH to treat terminal cancer patients suffering from intractable pain.
In December 2014, the company and NantWorks formed a global joint venture, now called Nantibody, to focus on certain next generation immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The company and Conkwest, Inc., a privately-held immuno-oncology company developing proprietary Neukoplast®, a Natural Killer (NK) cell-line based therapy, also entered into an agreement to jointly develop next generation CAR.TNK™ (Chimeric Antigen Receptor Tumor-attacking Neukoplast) immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. The CAR.TNK technology platform combines Conkwest's proprietary Neukoplast cell line with Sorrento's proprietary G-MAB® fully human antibody technology and CAR designs to further enhance the potency and targeting of Neukoplast. More recently, in March 2015, Sorrento entered into a global collaboration with NantCell, a NantWorks company, to discover and develop novel anti-cancer immunotherapies.
The company has made significant advances in developing human monoclonal antibodies, complemented by comprehensive and fully integrated bispecific antibody and antibody drug conjugate (ADC) platforms that include proprietary conjugation chemistries, linkers and toxic payloads. Sorrento's strategy is to enable a multi-pronged approach to combating cancer with small molecules, mono- and bispecific therapeutic antibodies, ADCs and adoptive cellular immunotherapy.
