According to this article in Inside Precision Medicine, patients who experience painful CIPN symptoms often face significant limitations in their daily lives, a worse quality of life, and financial struggles. In addition, treatment outcomes and survival rates can be impacted when chemotherapy is reduced or discontinued entirely as a result of severe cases. At Osmol, we believe patients shouldn’t have to choose between effective cancer treatment and their long-term quality of life. That’s why we’re working to prevent CIPN before it starts, allowing patients to focus on recovery—not lasting side effects. Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/3Dt1YpB

Addressing the urgent need of patients faced with the challenges of CIPN and CICI through the advancement of OSM-0205
About us
Osmol Therapeutics is developing OSM-0205, our lead investigational candidate, to address the urgent need of patients faced with the challenges of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) - challenging and debilitating conditions impacting cancer patients worldwide. Nearly 50% of patients receiving taxane-based therapy must choose between risking sub-optimal cancer treatment outcomes associated with reducing chemotherapy dosage or the painful and debilitating impact of CIPN and CICI – conditions for which there are no effective treatments. Our groundbreaking approach aims to prevent CIPN and CICI before they impact patients – paving the way for optimal chemotherapy dosing and enhanced outcomes. OSM-0205, delivered intravenously just before chemotherapy, targets the essential interaction that initiates the calcium surge to prevent the cascade of neuronal damage leading to CIPN and CICI. Osmol Therapeutics is a privately held clinical stage biopharma company advancing a first-in-class treatment to prevent CIPN, based on the groundbreaking research of Dr. Barbara Ehrlich of Yale University, founder and chief scientific officer.

DYKT Black breast cancer survivors may be disproportionately affected by chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)? Learn about the research via Oncology Nursing News, which sheds light on how racial disparities in cancer care can leave lasting impacts on survivors. At Osmol, our work focuses on prevention, aiming to stop CIPN before it starts so patients can focus on recovery, not side effects. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4htGtDO

Cancer treatment saves lives, but for many survivors, the journey doesn’t end when treatment stops. According to American Association for Cancer Research, 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S. are living with, through, and beyond their disease. For many, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a debilitating, life-long side effect—impacting mobility, daily activities, and overall well-being. At Osmol, we are committed to preventing the overlooked challenges of cancer treatment. Our groundbreaking approach targets CIPN and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI), commonly associated with taxane-based chemotherapies, so patients don’t have to choose between treatment success and quality of life. This National Cancer Prevention Month, we also recognize the strength of survivors. By addressing the lasting effects of chemotherapy, we can improve outcomes and ensure that more patients thrive beyond their diagnosis.

A recent article in The Wall Street Journal highlighted that more and more people are surviving cancer, but that life after chemo is more challenging than anticipated. The side effects of chemo can often impact the quality of life for patients long after treatment ends. 👉There are over 18 million U.S. cancer survivors today 👉Many under 50 years of age with decades of life ahead of them 👉This number is expected to grow to 26 million by 2040 Our lead candidate, OSM-0205, aims to prevent chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) before they impact patients – paving the way for optimal chemotherapy dosing and enhanced patient outcomes.
