Scandion Oncology

Scandion Oncology was formed as a spin-out company from the University of Copenhagen and the research and development company Saniona AB in 2017 for the purpose of addressing one of the greatest challenges in modern oncology – the effective treatment of cancer which is or has become resistant to the prescribed cancer-fighting drugs. In preclinical animal studies, the company’s leading drug candidate, SCO-101, has been found to significantly enhance the efficacy of certain standard cancer treatments when given in combination. Furthermore, it has been shown in vitro-studies that SCO-101 significantly restores chemotherapy sensitivity in resistant cells.
