The Experimental Drug Development Centre (EDDC) is Singapore’s national platform for drug discovery and development, formed from the integration of the Experimental Therapeutics Centre (ETC), Drug, Discovery and Development (D3), and Experimental Biotherapeutics Centre (EBC) in 2019.

Little Drug, Big Hope

ETC-159 is a selective small molecule inhibitor of Porcupine, a key component of the Wnt signalling pathway. Developed in collaboration with Duke-NUS, it has completed Phase 1B trials and showed promising outcomes for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. 

 

One such patient, Iren, with her husband Kevin, share about their journey and how Iren found renewed life through the ETC-159 clinical trial. Alongside her, Veronica Diermayr from EDDC, A/Prof David Tan from NCIS, and Prof David Virshup from Duke-NUS delve into the science, collaboration, and inspiration behind this made-in-Singapore oncology drug. 

 

ETC-159 is beginning its Investigator-Initiated Trial at NUHS focused on patients with advanced MSS/pMMR ovarian cancers.
