Our Focus
We focus on the areas that others shy away from; pioneering treatments for hard to treat, often neglected cancers.
Our commitment is unwavering: tackling the most challenging cancers that others overlook. We specialise in pioneering treatments for hard to treat, often neglected cancers, dedicating our resources and expertise to these critical areas. Our mission is driven by the belief that every patient deserves innovative, effective care — regardless of their diagnosis.
By focusing on cancers with high unmet need, we aim to make a profound impact on patient outcomes, offering hope and new possibilities where few exist. Our dedication to addressing these critical gaps in cancer care underscores our commitment to transforming the landscape of oncology and delivering tangible benefits to those who need it most.
Changing Lives
More time
for the moments that matter
We are setting new standards for treatment efficacy and safety, whilst significantly reducing negative side effects. As a leader in producing oral small molecules, our medicines can be taken independently at home, minimising disruption to day-to-day living.
Improving clinical profiles and extending quality of life, we enable patients to spend more quality time with the people that matter most to them.
“The impact of roginolisib on my life has been immeasurable. Not only am I still here, but I’m still able to enjoy all of the things I love doing, like being active with my friends and family.”
– Clinical trial patient, Europe
“Patients tolerated roginolisib very well and allowed the drug to be given for several months resulting in longer than historically expected overall survival.”
– Professor Michele Maio, Università Degli Studi Di Siena
“I have been very impressed with the safety profile of roginolisib and patients taking this drug have been able to live longer than expected.”
– Professor Dr Armando Santoro, Humanitas Milan

Uveal melanoma is a rare cancer arising within the uveal tract of the eye. When the cancer metastasizes, which it does in approximately 50% of patients, there are limited treatment options and projected overall survival is only a year.
PI3Kδ over-expression stimulates multiple cancer mechanisms and has an oncogenic role in many tumor types, including uveal melanoma. Allosteric modulation of PI3Kδ by roginolisib boosts antitumor immunity by directly modulating regulatory and cytotoxic T-cells, reducing immunosuppression and also inhibits cancer cell survival directly. Compelling data from the Phase I/II DIONE-01 study supported the rational to expand the clinical program to the randomized controlled Phase II trial, OCULE-01, which started recruiting patients in March 2025.
OCULE-01 STUDY NCT06717126
OCULE-01 is a Phase II open-label, randomised, parallel-arm study, which is assessing the clinical efficacy of oral roginolisib as monotherapy against a control of Investigator’s treatment choice in patients with advanced or metastatic uveal melanoma (UM).

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers and is associated with devastating impact on the quality of life of patients. Current treatments are largely ineffective and there is a need for game-changing therapies. Inhibition of autotaxin is a novel treatment strategy that offers a three-pronged attack on the tumor through direct cancer cell inhibition, immune effector stimulation and inhibition of fibrotic processes, giving drugs and immune cells better access to the tumor.
Translational research showing the potential of cambritaxestat in multiple cancer models, including pancreatic cancer, has recently been published in the ESMO journal Immuno-Oncology and Technology (IOTECH), Cancer Research, the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, and Cancers. Across these publications, cambritaxestat showed strong reduction of metastasis and tumor outgrowth in preclinical models, as well as safe and tolerable dosing in healthy volunteers.
Cambritaxestat is currently being investigated in the ongoing Phase I AION-02 study.
IOA-289-102 STUDY NCT05586516 (AION-02)
The IOA-289-102 Phase 1 study is investigating the safety, tolerability and activity of cambritaxestat in combination with standard chemotherapy at escalating doses in approximately 24 patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death globally, accounting for approximately 1 in 5 of all cancer deaths.
Anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) or anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) immunotherapy is a standard therapy for NSCLC patients with no actionable mutations in the first or second lines of therapy, with or without chemotherapy. However, treatment is often of limited duration as the cancer cells develop resistance to the treatment.
Emerging clinical and translational biomarker data supports the hypothesis that combining roginolisib with an anti-PD-L1/PD1 agent, with or without docetaxel, may prevent or reverse drug resistance in NSCLC and may show synergistic anti-tumor immune activity without significant addition of toxicity.
This evidence supported the rational to expand the clinical program to the randomized controlled Phase I/II trial, PULMO-01, which started recruiting patients in May 2025.
PULMO-01 STUDY NCT06879717
PULMO-01 is a open-label, randomized, parallel-arm Phase I/II study assessing roginolisib in combination with dostarlimab, with or without docetaxel in patients with NSCLC resistant to first-line checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
