Cleveland BioLabs currently has two lead compounds in late stages of development. Curaxin CBLC102 is a small molecule designed to kill tumor cells by simultaneously targeting two key regulators of apoptosis. The Company has received approval to initiate Phase II trials with CBLC102 in hormone refractory prostate cancer.

The Company's other lead compound, CBLB502, is a modified protein of a microbe that protects cells from apoptosis. It has shown efficacy in protection against lethal doses of radiation in rodents and non-human primates and is on an accelerated approval pathway for the treatment of acute radiation syndrome, which results from exposure to high levels of radiation following a nuclear or radiological incident. Other applications for this technology include protection from cancer treatment side effects.
