What We Do

Research & Development

Propanc, together with its scientific and oncology consultants, has developed a rational, composite formulation of anti-cancer compounds which together exert a number of anti-cancer actions.

Research & Development

Propanc’s leading products, PRP and PRP-DCM, are novel, patented suppository formulations based on proteolytic proenzymes, which are inactive precursors of enzymes.
There is a substantial body of literature on the potential utility of both proteolytic proenzymes and enzymes in the treatment of cancer, and Propanc is of the view that its proprietary products PRP and PRP-DCM will provide a potent, multi-pronged attack on cancerous cells.

As a result of positive early indications of the anti-cancer effects, Propanc intends to progress PRP and/or PRP-DCP along the rigorous, formal non-clinical and clinical development pathway required to obtain regulatory approval to market its proteolytic proenzymes formulation. Propanc intends to undertake development of manufacturing, formal non-clinical studies and then Phase I, II and III clinical trials in order to generate the quality, safety and efficacy data required for regulatory approval. Propanc hopes that encouraging early results will be replicated in large, controlled clinical trials.

In the near term, Propanc’s clinical development target is patients with limited remaining therapeutic options for the treatment of solid tumors such as colorectal or pancreatic tumors. The data generated to date suggests that Propanc’s lead product, PRP, is well tolerated, and hence in the longer term, Propanc will be targeting the development of its lead product as a treatment for earlier stage cancer, and also as a preventative for patients at high risk of developing cancer –eg. Those diagnosed with precancerous diseases, or patients identified as being at high risk of developing cancer based on genetic analysis. Before targeting these longer term development targets, as a first step Propanc hopes to demonstrate clinically the potential of its lead product in late stage cancer patients whose treatment options are limited.
