The webinar will feature a presentation by KOL
Richard Béliveau, Ph.D., Université du Québec à Montréal, who will
discuss the science of receptor-mediated cancer therapy and the
discovery of sortilin as a novel target in cancer treatment. Dr.
Béliveau will be available to answer questions following the formal
presentations. Theratechnologies' President and Chief Executive
Officer Paul Lévesque and Senior Vice President and Chief Medical
Officer Christian Marsolais, Ph.D. will also give an update on its

SORT1+ Technology™ is a new class of cancer
treatment targeting all sortilin-expressing cancers by linking
approved anticancer drugs to a proprietary peptide that
specifically binds to the sortilin receptor. The PDC is
internalized by the sortilin receptor and the therapeutic agent is
released directly inside the cancer cell.
TH1902 was granted fast track designation by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a single agent for the
treatment of all advanced solid tumors expressing sortilin that are
refractory to standard therapy and is currently being evaluated in
a Phase 1 clinical trial.
