Amplia Therapeutics Limited is an Australia-based clinical-stage, drug development company. The Company is focused on developing proprietary, orally available, small molecule Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) inhibitors as candidate drugs for the treatment of cancer and various fibrotic diseases. The Company's pipeline includes narmafotinib (AMP945) and AMP886. narmafotinib is a selective and potent inhibitor of FAK and is in clinical development for pancreatic cancer and advanced preclinical development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The Company's second pipeline drug, AMP886, inhibits FAK and inhibits two key disease drug targets (VEGFR3 and FLT3). This drug is being evaluated in preclinical models of cancer. Its fibrosis program uses its FAK inhibitors to block fibrosis and cell migration in cancers. Its cancer Program is directed at using its FAK inhibitors to block FAK activity in the cancer cells and the surrounding tissue and therefore block survival/proliferation signals.
