About Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. (COTI)

COTI is a biopharmaceutical company advancing the treatment of cancer through targeted therapeutics. The Company’s lead compound, COTI-2, has a novel p53-dependent mechanism of action with selective and potent anti-cancer activity. The initial indication is in gynecologic cancers (ovarian, cervical and endometrial) and a Phase 1 clinical trial is expected to begin at MD Anderson Cancer Center in the fall of 2015. The Company has secured orphan drug status for the ovarian indication in the U.S. and is planning additional studies in other indications such as head & neck, AML and Li-Fraumeni as well as combination therapies with other leading cancer drugs. Pre-clinical data provides evidence to suggest a potentially dramatic change in the treatment of cancers with mutations of the p53 gene.
