In Constant Search of the Unseen

Ron Bentsur, the founder of Nuvectis Pharma, was born in 1965, to a loving Israeli family. Growing up, Ron had always been interested in exploring the outdoors.

All About Nuvectis Pharma

Founded in 2020, Nuvectis holds offices in Fort Lee, New Jersey, United States.

Driven by the thought that the world needs effective therapy for oncological conditions and that people deserve to live life without pain, Ron Bentsur started Nuvectis Pharma.

The company’s main focus is to develop innovative medicines for treating serious oncological illnesses. Currently, Nuvectis Pharma is developing 2 unique precision-medicine remedy candidates that can fight cancer.

A year after the company was brought to light, in May 2021, Nuvectis approved exclusive global commercial rights to the revolutionary NXP800. It is an HSF1 pathway inhibitor, which was founded and developed in the special drug detection program at the prestigious Institute for Cancer Research in London, England.

Wanting to land a breakthrough in the suffering world of cancer-battling, Nuvectis Pharma did the almost unimaginable when it brought pathway inhibitors closer to patients in dire need.

In August of 2021, Nuvectis bought the exclusive global rights to NXP900 - an innovative small-molecule remedy that was developed by the highly reputable University of Edinburgh.

NXP800's initial target is progressive OCCC (ovarian clear cell carcinoma) and refractory/relapsed endometrial ovarian cancer. NXP900 is a preclinical drug candidate, whose target is severe tumors such as ovarian, prostate, colon, breast, and pancreatic cancers. Nuvectis tests a remedy that will successfully fight different oncological conditions but will remain mainly inactive in non-cancerous cells.

The CEO at Nuvectis reveals that they plan to introduce NXP800 as a cure for endometrioid ovarian cancer and ovarian clear cell cancer.

Knowing that OCCC is intensely malignant, hard to treat, and is attached to a terribly low survival rate because of frequent reappearance after surgery and after the initial treatment, the NXP800 is truly a blessing.

The popular first-line medical treatment covers platinum-based chemotherapy, but it is clear that medicine needs a fully new treatment alternative for OCCC.

Securing the Finances

Nuvectis Pharma, a developer of pretrial therapy for cancer treatments, is worth around $30million, with its shares ranging between $12 and $14.

More precisely, Nuvectis expects to raise $30M net income by offering 2.3M shares at a suggested mid-price of $13.00 per share. The market capitalization of Nuvectis Pharma is estimated at $160M. The company licensed global rights for NXP800 and the second phase of treatment, NXP900, and received $15M financing for NXP800.

Before doing an IPO, Nuvectis Pharma managed to raise $15.3M through a venture series by an unknown investor.

The company is utterly proud of its NXP800 since it holds massive potential, possibly offering a broad spectrum of uses, including urothelial, oesophageal, hepatocellular, and gastric carcinoma among the others, though it will probably focus mainly on ovarian cancer types. That tracks with Nuvectis's stated goal of addressing unmet patient markets as well as filling intermediate medical spaces.

Stirring the Murky Waters of Cancer Issues

The prospects of Nuvectis may depend on the up-and-coming finishing point and commercial launch of the two current drug candidates, but we can’t be sure about that as there is no guarantee for that.

Since cancer research is an extremely promising zone, the oncology pharmaceutical market is vastly competitive. Rival companies like Constellation Pharma, Immunogen Therapeutics, and Turning Point Therapeutics among others, have only strengthened Nuvectis Pharma’s drive to succeed.

Nuvectis Pharms is a phase-I ready company, but its formulations must complete the phase-II trials before showing up at the market. The development activities and intense research related to clinical programs are expected to require some serious investments.

Nuvectis management has a great plan on how to use the gross proceeds from the IPO. The company strives to increase its capitalization as well as financial flexibility and create a stable public market for its common stock.

In that way, it will connect to the public fair markets for itself and its stockholders. Nuvectis Pharma expects to use the gross proceeds from this proposal to fund the approval for conducting human clinical traits for NXP900 and to fund Phase 1/2 development of NXP800. The team also plans to continue improvement and sponsored research associated with their ongoing product candidates or upcoming product candidates, capital expenditures, hiring of additional personnel, expenses of working as a public company, and similar general corporate purposes.

Today, being headquartered in New Jersey and employing around 6 people, Nuvectis Pharma is still led forward by Ron Bentsur as the CEO. Looking to expand the market with a number of ground-breaking remedies for battling cancer, Nuvectis Farma is doing its best in providing patients with paramount remedies.
