Imulan BioTherapeutics, LLC (IMULAN) and Oncura Partners announced formation of a personalized cancer program aimed at creating a patient specific approach to tumors. IMULAN’s is using their apSTAR laser technology, for Autologous Patient Specific Tumor Antigen Response, to create a network of apSTAR centers. apSTAR works by stimulating a patient specific response against tumor cells, thereby creating tumor immunity and improving the rate of primary and metastatic regression. IMULAN recently licensed the global veterinary rights to apSTAR from ImmunoPhotonics, Inc, leading to the creation of IMULAN’s new division, Veterinary Cancer Therapeutics.

Dr. Craig Woods, CEO of Imulan and Veterinary Cancer Therapeutics, stated, “We are delighted to work with Oncura Partners on this exciting new technology. Their pre-established oncology network combined with a progressive, forward looking approach to oncology will facilitate our ability to design new patient specific treatment protocols for veterinary cancer patients. Oncura Partners shares the same vision as IMULAN, which is to improve the treatment success of veterinary cancer patients.”
Dr. Brian Huber, President of Oncura Partners, stated, “We are excited about apStAR’s potential to truly make a difference in the lives of pets battling cancer. This unique approach to fighting cancer is where all the scientific research has been focused, using the patients immune system to fight the primary and metastatic cancer cells. We are privileged to partner with such a forward thinking company as Imulan BioTherapeutics.”
