LiPlasome Pharma A/S develops, produces and supplies drugs for chemotherapy treatment. It has developed a technology based on incapsulation of chemotherapy in liposomes (fatty molecules) that will only dissolve in and around cancer tissue (tumors or metastases). The firm’s technology will improve chemotherapy treatment within a wide range of cancer diseases significantly as it improves the balance between effect and side effects. LiPlasome’s first drug candicate LiplaCis which is a liposonal formulation of Cisplatin, is in clinical phase 1. The company was founded in January 2001 by Ole Gunner Mouritsen and is headquartered in Hoersholm, Denmark.
